When veteran anchorman Howard Beale is forced to retire his 25-year post because of his age, he announces to viewers that he will kill himself during his farewell broadcast. Network executives rethink their decision when his fanatical tirade results in a spike in ratings.

Vincent Canby, The New York Times
“A ferocious satire—angry, funny, and electrifying—that captures the soul-deadening power of television with shocking clarity.”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“Still devastatingly relevant, Network is a masterpiece of rage and dark humor that feels more prophetic with every passing year.”

Network won 4 Academy Awards
