We’re as mad as Hell (Gate) and we’re not going to take it anymore!A razor-sharp satire-turned-prophecy of media and political culture, Network is more relevant now than ever. Veteran news anchor Howard Beale (Peter Finch) transforms his professional demise into television gold when his on-air meltdown becomes the prime-time sensation that ruthless executive Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) has been desperately seeking. Sidney Lumet's electrifying indictment of corporate media serves as a darkly comic reflection of how easily we surrender our humanity for the promise of spectacle.
