William Foster, played by Michael Douglas, is an engineer at a military factory who is depressed after being fired. Due to the divorce, he was not invited for his little daughter's birthday. He happened to be in a traffic jam. He abandoned the car and walked into a grocery store, trying to find some change to make a phone call, but was made trouble. He smashed the store with a softball bat. While resting in the park, he got into another fight with the hooligan; in a fast food restaurant, after an argument with the waiter, he pulled out a pistol seized from the hooligan and fired indiscriminately, by which time he was completely out of control. Finally, facing the gunpoint of the retired police officer, he couldn't help asking himself: "Am I a bad guy?"
