Narrative:
Climbing out of 11000 ft; captain's FMC failed; FD1 (flight director) failed; first officer (first officer) was flying; I attempted to select the first officer's FD and FMC; at this time the first officer's FMC failed; leaving us with dual FMC failures. [We advised ATC and started] to return to ZZZ; received vectors for an ILS [approach]. We also lost our FD; autopilots; we used rose mode and tuned the ILS; landed uneventfully.
