UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
而这对于他们来说，又有什么所谓呢，最后的大尺度亦水到渠成。

四星半。片子会带给不同人不同的解读，可以有反对对性工作者遭遇的美化，可以有反对支持性服务合法化的观点，也可以看到，正是基于片中女主自我探索的过程，才无法让角色性别互换，恰恰是因为这种性别安排，更巧妙的展现了女性的困境，性只是表象，枷锁的束缚与解除才是内核。艾玛汤普森演技太棒了。
感动的无以复加！在北美小镇上生活过真的是能够理解每一个细节，每次有人要我描述那个地方，我都称之为世外桃源——每个人都认识每个人，十年间的犯罪率为0，一切温暖与爱都是理所当然给你的。小时候不懂这些东西的珍贵，现在明白了。
三星半，完全没想到是一个这样的故事，看得很开心。一种工整的，计划好的，没有意外的故事。却处处有些小惊喜，小欢乐，很童话，很梦幻。表演过于用力，也可能是故意为之。
女性解放≠性解放，但是女性能摆脱这个敏感词的束缚，便是真的解放了。任何年龄都是如此。
这大概就是美国主旋律题材了，但是很优秀。请假紧凑连贯，音乐动听。演员业务能力真的很强，每一个都很能打，从头到尾都是这些人不停地变装切换人物，他们应该都是热爱舞台的人吧，看到这样的表演也是一种幸运。每次看舞台剧谢幕时演员的敬礼和观众的掌声都让我热泪盈眶，充满热情。
被艾玛汤普森惊得目瞪口呆，她接这个戏是被下蛊了吗？看似是个打开身体承受欢愉的女性觉醒题材，最后却把中产阶级这张皮扒得毛都不剩。不过纯聊天的内容实在太多了点。
性探索只是一种表达，意味着对新鲜事物和对自我的好奇心未死，这本身就很性感。男主确是行走的荷尔蒙没错，但出演南希这个角色的艾玛·汤普森，God，一位女演员的专业顶峰也不过如此了。
整体套路化，说教味太浓，呼吁性工作合法化真的大可不必，和妈妈一起看的感觉很奇妙
喜欢电影中二人的每次对话，虽然很理想化，但都是对现实生活的一种提炼和萃取，看完以后会给你一种思考。
故事设定真的很有意思，如果鸭鸭们都是里奥这种的，我立马花钱买一晚。
文广还我现场版！这个故事太好了，消防员的妈妈，女机长，中东男穆斯林...连毛孩子都被照顾到了。20 Anniversary of 9-11

这无疑是一部充满勇气和突破性的电影——从话题到表现方式。尽管剧情走向和故事结局难免有着过分戏剧化的色彩，但通过艾玛·汤普森前后衣着、姿态、肢体语言的细腻变化，仍然极具说服力。非常棒的女性主义题材和准舞台剧佳作。
冰球、麋鹿、Tim Hortons……加拿大纽芬兰Gander小镇middle of nowhere。被911事件余波影响的近7000人，在这里度过最为难忘的三天，有的人生因为这三天而改变，也有的人相遇离开一切回归以前。十年后的2011年，他们再次回到Gander，感谢当地人的善良，纪念那不能被忘记的日子。
这无疑是一部充满勇气和突破性的电影——从话题到表现方式。尽管剧情走向和故事结局难免有着过分戏剧化的色彩，但通过艾玛·汤普森前后衣着、姿态、肢体语言的细腻变化，仍然极具说服力。非常棒的女性主义题材和准舞台剧佳作。
我们都值得在赤裸面对真实自己时更加自信与强大。
五星。真好，舞台剧的魅力，荧幕电影给不了，荧幕电影的优势，舞台剧也比不上。它们没有优劣之分，当这两种艺术载体从平行线交汇到一起时，就有了《来自远方》，很多没有机会条件看现场舞台剧的观众，可以通过一块相对廉价的屏幕，体验到之前难得的体验。
