Synopsis
Freeways are clogged. Terror stalks our cities. At shops and
restaurants, the customer is seldom right. Pressures of big-city
life can anger anyone. But Bill Foster is more than angry.
He’s out to get even. Foster abandons his gridlocked car –
license plate D-FENS – on the hottest day of the year and
walks straight into an urban nightmare both absurdly funny
and shatteringly violent. Michael Douglas is Foster, an
ordinary guy at war with the frustrations of daily life.
Robert Duvall is the savvy cop obsessed with stopping
Foster’s citywide rampage. This spellbinding thriller is their
story, asking “Are we falling apart?”
