William Foster is stuck in traffic on a hot day. Robert Duvall co-stars as Martin Prendergast, an aging Los Angeles Police Department sergeant who, on the day of his retirement, faces his own frustrations even as he tracks down Foster. Along the way, a series of encounters, both trivial and provocative, cause him to react with increasing violence and to make sardonic observations on life, poverty, the economy, and commercialism. The 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. The film stars Michael Douglas in the lead role of William Foster, a divorced and unemployed former defense engineer.
