Falling Down

Falling Down

1993

Two Oscar winners star in this dark comedy by Joel Schumacher. It's a hot summer day in L.A., and Bill Foster (Michael Douglas) is having a very bad day. He's just been fired from his defense-industry job and a traffic jam is making him late to his daughter's birthday party. With his temper fraying, Foster begins walking and runs into one obstacle after another, including an overzealous cop (Robert Duvall) who's determined to bring Foster down.

The adventures of an ordinary man at war with the everyday world.
