Falling Down

Academy Award winners Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall star in this tense thriller that takes an unswerving look at modern life and the price it exacts from us. On the hottest day of the year, the sanity of a Los Angeles defense worker (Douglas) unravels after he loses his job then abandons his car in a freeway traffic jam as he tries to travel across the city to see his ex-wife in an increasingly violent and deranged journey.
