About Falling Down in brief
Falling Down is a 1993 crime thriller film directed by Joel Schumacher and written by Ebbe Roe Smith. The film stars Michael Douglas in the lead role of William Foster, a divorced and unemployed former defense engineer. Robert Duvall co-stars as Martin Prendergast, an aging Los Angeles Police Department sergeant on the day of his retirement. Film centers on Foster as he treks on foot across the city of Los Angeles, trying to reach the house of his estranged ex-wife in time for his daughter’s birthday. Along the way, a series of encounters, both trivial and provocative, causes him to react with increasing violence and make sardonic observations on life, poverty, the economy, and commercialism. In the end, Foster shoots and flees with PrenderGast in pursuit in pursuit of the person responsible for the crimes. Foster’s “D-FENS” vanity license plate proves to be an important lead, because Preandergast remembers being in the same traffic jam as Foster earlier that day. They realize Foster is heading toward his former family’s home in Venice, California and rush to intercept him. By the time Foster reaches Beth’s house, she has already fled with their daughter, Adele. Foster realizes that they may have gone to nearby Venice Pier, but he can go after them after he acknowledges being ill-informed about being banned from seeing his daughter.
He flees, with Preendergast and his partner, Detective Torres, in pursuit. At the end of the film, Foster confronts his daughter, but she is happy to see him and admits that she is frightened about being forced to leave her father. He then flees and leaves with them after admitting that he can’t go after her and that she has fled with Adele, but that he will see her in the next day or so. The movie ends on a cliffhanging cliffhanger, with Foster saying, “I’ve got to get out of here now.’” The film was released on November 14, 1993. It is the 50th anniversary of the release of The Godfather. It was released in the U.S. on November 21, 1993, and in the UK on November 22, 1993,. and in Australia on November 23, 1994, and on November 24, 1995.
