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.
路上的人和事太真实，每段生活都触动人心，每个故事、每段音乐、几句诗歌也能让人潸然泪下。出发吧，路上总有好的风景出现。
这部剧告诉我们，不要当娇妻，不要恋爱脑年纪轻轻就结婚，不要老公死了还活在过去走不出来。
有太多可以说的东西了，流淌的画面里暗藏着巨大的属于一个中年女人的孤独的能量。应该推荐给56岁自驾游的阿姨看
对非虚构原作材料的处理，和《乡下人的悲歌》形成鲜明的反差；后者一心求稳，淡化所有全景风貌，只留戏剧矛盾；它却借由Fern之眼，看遍走遍这路，淡述这个国度所拥有的另种面貌。最有玩味的是，角色心境的平和与那种背负着伤痛之间的抉择，并非左右互搏似的僵持，而更像心内心外的循环与对话。Ludovico Einaudi的音乐、脱口而出的诗篇和堪称金句式的台词托陈，赋予了它更厚重的深度和引人着迷的方向。尽管是种得体的点缀，但也会在某些时刻现点突兀。#SendingLovetoDavidStrathairn
不是一直在路上的小清新，而是行走在旷野中的孤独和疗愈。看的时候让我一度恍惚，这是美国西部的现代游牧，又何尝不是中国西部的心灵光景。在本片中无依是一种人生选择，可惜现实中无依往往是一种无可奈何。返璞归真的演绎让麦克多蒙德三度封后，集编导剪于一身的赵婷让本片浑然天成。《无依之地》让人看到，当一切因素都是对的时候，一部电影会呈现出什么样自信和充沛的艺术效果。电影中一切逻辑都完全自洽，现实中本片的遭遇却荒诞不经。
巴黎终于首映了。混合职业演员和非职业演员是一件很risky的事。Einaudi的fingerprint太重了，配音煽情能少一点也许更上一个层次？片子看到一半意识到，神经系统习惯/惯性才是人类最应该抗拒的？“所谓”底层的故事，无论在哪个国家，都需要更多。但拍好真的很不易。frances mcdormand演的好，没有她这个片是另外一个样子吧。所有人都很温暖的电影，很多都描述的很委婉，留给人思考的空间很大，戏剧化降到最低，导演的基调，👍🏻。
轻剧情的电影，只是路上琐琐碎碎的事情，但是那种平静下的又自由又孤独的感觉能一下子把人攫住，是非常难得的观影体验
一部独具特色的公路电影，因其女性视角和人生哲思而显得平静、深刻、温柔。夜空旷野观看木星、长久略过车窗的景色，都让我想起圣经中摩西的晚年，上帝为他指出应许之地却不令其进入，摩西远眺后便死在山上。生命中的迦南到底在哪里可能并不重要，在路上的过程里才有圆融。
厌倦了社交应酬，一度想辞职休息。可如今这个社会我辞职了又能去干嘛？开滴滴？打零工？我的社交圈子会对我产生鄙视吗？要对我的父母保密吗？离开城市小孩的教育怎么办？问题太多，没法细想，只能继续这段不喜欢的工作，毕竟生活还要继续，城市里停车费很贵。
后一个小时是享受，分享，执着。
劳作，风野，感怀，生的尊严，选择的自由，这些为人的本质，或者说earthship，终要比商业化的暴力冲突和冷嘲热讽的小聪明恒久。这个赵姓姑娘的距离这么远又这么近，你不想太骄傲，也不能太警惕，更不能妒恨，因为她所代表的希望和传递的关怀属于每个人，从作茧自缚的民族狂热者到一心想拿绿卡的文科留学生。只是我们的语言里，敏感依然有贬义，empathy还没有对等的词汇。
非常喜欢，色调和镜头都太美了。有一种深沉的悲伤。
周末看了两遍。美国中西部，亚利桑那，内华达，新墨西哥，奇迹一样的地方，美不足以形容。
赵婷真的不一样，她找到了属于自己独特的叙事方式，这种风格让人一瞬间感觉电影贴的现实世界特别近，下一瞬间又感觉电影早已击穿了现实世界，但细细回想两者又有一些暧昧存在，不近不远，她从《骑士》的尝试到现在的锋芒早已站稳了好莱坞，她不学习谁，她不继承谁，她就是她自己。
在路上⋯，摄影绝⋯ ＂生活最吸引我的一点，就是不会有诀别。＂
在我人生中的特殊时期看到这部电影，对于失去挚爱亲人的感受非常真实。人的状态始终在坚强和脆弱之间平衡，看过了无数风景，阅过了更多有趣的人，天地之间无限辽阔，生命如此生机勃勃，内心的涟漪却难以抚平，也许会有一天与自己和解，但又执意不愿那天如此快的到来。
女主角的困境很像当下的普通美国人，抗风险的能力太弱了，一场变故下来，到最后只能是一无所有。爱人去世了，房子没有了，退休金也不够用，又不想寄人篱下，只能靠四处打短工来保证生存，所以她除了在路上漂泊，还能又什么选择呢
完蛋，哎
非常喜欢，契合了目前的一部分心境。叙事从容自信，表达了很多，不同的观众会看到不同的东西，但都是含蓄的。中老年女性角色主场，特别有共鸣，感到安慰和治愈，虽然是悲伤的底子。当然了，是一个童话，纯粹诗意。
流浪、孤独、放逐，并不是通向幸福，走向乌托邦。就像哲学里的经典命题——自由意志真的存在吗？我们的生活不完全是自己的选择，也是环境和现实作用的结果。走入流浪、孤独和放逐的生活，无关是否自由，但要坚强面对，即便在别人看来很可怜，甚至像是命运里的小丑。
