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.
豆瓣评论说，这部电影是导演保罗·索伦蒂诺的那布勒斯乡愁。
与《贝尔法斯特》殊途同归，合力拔高这一季对成长故事的追踪与探索。对于这座城市的凝望，与故事伴生的传奇记忆；那些热情洋溢的庆典场景，更或是一些荒谬狡猾的“陷阱”；滋味不止一种，并让观者从中摘取最为别致的一面。不愿再屈身于现实，而选择于梦想 - -这或许是关于光影梦最为赤忱、恳切与浪漫的告白。#There's sorrow… I envy you the pain.
少年的碎片私人成长日记。
像导演的自叙。我们一同见证过欢乐兴奋，也在曲终人散时悲愤哀伤，但那不勒斯永远是我们的根。后半段男主故人风景离别的场面，有那么点那不勒斯《山河故人》的感觉。
拖沓，凌乱，割裂，食难下咽，漫长难熬的两个多小时。。。
看这部电影，就像赴一场不知道目的地的旅行，只需完全放松，跟随导演的带领，去到那不勒斯，去到一段青春往事里，目睹一次决定性的成长。
3.5 真是越来越费里尼。在阿玛柯德里那艘大船是人们的集体记忆，而在《上帝之手》中，集体记忆是无敌迷人的马拉多纳！
Filippo Scotti，美丽的男孩。接下来，他将，胸毛越来越多，肚子越来越大……
不知道为什么，人家那不勒斯的青春，我浙江人特别有共鸣
导演的半自传故事，可能每个导演都有审视自己的欲望，会特别的真挚，很精彩的家庭戏，标准的家族群像，男孩的青春懵懂和意淫，以及戏剧性的变故。当然还赞颂了成长于斯的城市，意大利那不勒斯，又因球王而平添传奇。南意的绚烂多情，挣扎的成长经历，这大概就是索伦蒂诺的乡愁。
意大利的Vesuvio和Napoli真美啊，好想去
保罗·索伦蒂诺关于家乡、家人和成长期的回忆。本来所有的愉快都将延续下去，温暖的海边、如画的家乡、美丽的小姨、可爱的父母，还有马拉多纳加盟那不勒斯这样完美的事实。可是父母突发意外，成为了孤儿的男主必须匆忙与过去告别。虽然这是一个残酷的故事，但因为灵感源自导演本人的经历，所以处处透露着温柔。对家乡的热爱把那不勒斯描绘得非常美，片中的角色也十分形象、可爱。与老妇人那场让人震撼的床戏则展现了导演的真诚。导演引领观众在自己的回忆中徜徉，在观众爱上这一切之后，却又残忍地要求观众告别。多次提及的《美国往事》暗示了伤感的基调。多年后再回头，过去仍然明媚。
导演的自传体电影中，我最喜欢的是阿莫多瓦的《痛苦与荣耀》，其次就是这部《上帝之手》。和以往索伦蒂诺那种华丽的高度形式化的拍摄方式不同，这次他褪去了所有缥缈浮夸的修饰辞藻，戏谑的姿态转而化为了平易近人的温柔。索伦蒂诺回顾了他的少年时代，关于故乡那不勒斯、父母家庭、性启蒙、还有马拉多纳的巅峰时刻。任何时候当一个创作者愿意毫无掩饰的表露自己内心深处最柔软、最脆弱的那一面，并一层层剥开给观众看，这都是令人敬佩的。或许到了某一个年龄，这些大导演都以某种方式开始回顾自己的一生，坦诚的面对自己。
讲述私人往事的教科书电影——“你有没有故事要诉说？”“你有没有勇气去讲述？”
还是让人动人、喜欢的一部作品，导演的风格和美学非常统一，几乎可以一下子联想到绝美之城。虽然没有了解导演的过去，但感觉上像是导演的自传，非常纯粹干净的一部电影。孤独而凄美的青春。
“使他觉得遥远的不是时间长，而是两三件无法挽回的事 ”
裂缝来自于人物的视角，切镜头
后面一个小时因为接了一个电话，剧情没这么看进去，但最后还是被感动哭了，明天再认真看一遍，应该是今年最佳了。
数十年过去，在熟悉的海潮声和熹微夜色中，终于撕心裂肺地讲出当年想说的那个故事。有些冒犯，有些躁动，但是能够感受到柔软与哀伤。
索伦蒂诺的私人故事与乡愁情绪。最后那驶向罗马的火车，很像《罗马》里最后层层袭来的海浪。
