Summary

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) dart gun. After he wins big, Jonathan is off to Germany and meets a very beautiful woman named Sasha, who is interested in him because he is a virgin. 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. Jack Ruby murdered the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, in a very public manner. ...


As Jonathan plays a UCLA student, much of the film was shot on location on the UCLA campus. The University of California, Los Angeles, popularly known as UCLA, is a public, coeducational university located in the residential area of Westwood within the city of Los Angeles. ...
