The movie Falling Down tells the story of a man who is pushed to the edge by society. The protagonist, D-Fens (Michael Douglas), is a frustrated and divorced father who has been laid off from his job. He becomes furious when he can’t find any other employment and feels like he has been discriminated against because of his age.
D-Fens decides to take matters into his own hands and sets out on a journey across Los Angeles in search for justice. He encounters many obstacles along the way and eventually goes on a shooting rampage at an LAPD station before being shot himself.
