Gotcha! 1985 | Mistaken Identity Turns Game Into Nightmare
Jonathan Moore is an 18-year-old veterinary student attending UCLA. Socially, he’s shy, inexperienced, and not particularly successful with women. There is one area, however, in which Jonathan is almost unstoppable. He is the reigning champion of a campus-wide game called “Gotcha,” in which students hunt assigned targets and eliminate them using paintball guns. Jonathan treats the campus like his own private battlefield, creating elaborate hiding places and stalking his opponents with impressive skill. Then Jonathan and his roommate, Manolo, travel to Paris for spring break. While Manolo is busy chasing women, Jonathan meets Sasha, an older, confident, and sophisticated woman who appears to be everything Jonathan is not. She quickly seduces him, and Jonathan abandons his original travel plans to follow her into West Berlin. What begins as Jonathan’s European fantasy soon becomes a dangerous Cold War nightmare. Sasha is hiding secrets, Soviet agents are following them, and Jonathan unknowingly becomes involved in an international intelligence operation. Back in California, Jonathan’s family and the authorities think his story sounds ridiculous. To survive, he must apply the skills he learned playing Gotcha on campus to a game in which being eliminated could mean actually dying.
