1945年8月，日寇投降后，中共为促成国共合作，避免内战，应蒋介石（孙飞虎 饰）之邀，毛泽东（古月 饰）只身飞往重庆，与蒋“共商国是”。毛的毅然到来令蒋手足无措，不得已在官邸会见毛，谈判拉开帷幕。蒋和谈是假，积极筹备内战是真。毛在渝期间，广泛接触各党派民主人士，宣传共产党的主张。周恩来（黄凯 饰）、王若飞（董钰刚 饰）和国民党的谈判非常艰难，针对蒋介石提出的苛刻条件，毛泽东本着顾全大局的方针，在原则问题上作出重大让步，一针见血地指出蒋密发的《剿匪手本》阴谋，令蒋十分尴尬难堪。经过反复谈判，双方终于在“纪要”上签字，九龙坡机场上，毛泽东向欢送的人们挥起了巨手......

主人公是个贫困青年，一天，侵吞机关公款的官吏来访，决定在服刑之前把自己私吞的公款存放青年那里。因为这个官吏亲眼目睹了青年杀人的现场，所以青年不敢把这笔公款报告警察。然而，这个青年因为失恋，失去了生活的目标，于是想把公款挥霍一空，然后自杀。他开始过上了从前梦想的用钱征服女人的生活，他象对待奴隶一样对待每个女人。但这种喜悦是徒劳的。影片拍摄的时代，是日本经济正处于高峰时期的“黄金时代”。人们被经济的发达、生活的富裕搞得不知所措。昨天还是失败者和穷人，今天就变成梦想中的富人，生活的急速转变把人们从正常的心理轨道上大力抛出，人们莫名其妙地发现了自己的喜悦。大岛渚正是看到了这一现实，并敏锐地发觉其中蕴藏的绝望和无助，于是拍摄了这部讽刺和警告的影片。这部让很多影评人失望的影片最大的遗憾是过于程式化和概念化，以及大岛渚对《青春残酷物语》等前作的的关联和模仿。不过，影片在上映前遭到警视厅的严格审查和删减，完整性已经受到很大的破坏，恐怕也是影片并不成功的原因之一。

剧情主要描述抗日战争期间，一位美国飞行员因飞机失事降落到云南境内，与当地居民之间发生的一段不寻常的故事。

Through stories and photographs, many never widely seen before, Give Peace a Chance will offer a chance to sit on the edge of the Bed-In, Suite 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal between May 26 and June 2, 1969.John Lennon and Yoko Ono used their bed as a way to put themselves and their message in the center of a searing spotlight, demonstrating through their vulnerability and openness their unrelenting support for their beliefs. No celebrity couple had ever used their bed as a place of protest, nor had anyone before been so available in person and by telephone to the world.“We’re going to sell peace the way other people sell soap,” Lennon said to a young, accomplished photographer on assignment for Life magazine, Gerry Deiter. Deiter was our eyes in that hotel room, the only photographer there for the entire eight days of the bed-in. He was determined to capture the essence of the scene--in particular the love between the newlyweds in many intimate moments. He also candidly caught the famous people who dropped in: Timothy Leary, Tommy Smothers, Dick Gregory, Al Capp, Murray the K and others.
