A college student named Jonathan is in the adventure of his life... literally. He is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-80s 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. After he wins big, Jonathan is off toFrance and meets a very beautiful woman named Sasha, who is interested in him because he is avirgin . They both go to East Germany and end up getting split up, and Jonathan has to get back to the west with Russian spies on his tail. After Jonathan gets home, he finds the game is still going on, and a canister of film is in his backpack. Then Sasha re-appears.As the character Jonathan is a UCLA student, much of the film was shot on location on the UCLA campus.
