A terrifying and timely satire packed with exhilarating performances, the time has never been better to tune back into Network.Fired after twenty-five years as an anchorman on UBS, Howard Beale (Peter Finch) proclaims on his last broadcast that he was going to K*ll himself on his final programme and, although he doesn’t, his on-air rant of self destruction becomes an unexpected ratings sensation.
Fueled by the ambitious programming executive Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway), the focus of the network takes on a new trashy but lucrative turn that is to the disappointment of the news division president Max Schumacher (William Holden).
Winner of four Academy Awards (including a posthumous Best Actor award for Finch and Best Actress for Dunaway), Sidney Lumet's film remains as powerful and urgent almost fifty years after its release.
