michael douglas falling down

##title##

The title of the film, referring to Foster's mental collapse, is taken from the title of the nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling Down", which appears several times during the film. It also references London Bridge located in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, which is where Prendergast's wife wants to relocate after he retires.

William Foster (Michael Douglas) is recently divorced, and his ex-wife Beth (Barbara Hershey) has a restraining order to keep Foster away from her and their child, Adele. In addition, Foster was laid off the previous month by the defense agency for which he worked. His frustration grows as, on an extremely hot day, his air conditioning malfunctions and a fly pesters him as he is stuck in a traffic jam. Becoming increasingly upset and stressed, he abandons his vehicle and begins walking across Los Angeles toward the home of Beth and Adele to attend Adele's birthday party.
