Network
1976, 116 minutes, Rated M
Even more compelling today than when it was first released, Network is a wickedly funny, dead-on indicament of the TV news media. Winner of four Academy Awards it pulses with "vitality and a provocative excitement that is forever rare" (Los Angeles Times). Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch and Robert Duvall star in this searing portrait of television exploitation. When longtime news achor Howard Beale (Finch) is fired, he suffers a violent, on-air breakdown. But when his sagging ratings are boosted by his angry rantings, he's subsequently rehired and reinvented as the "mad prophet of the airwaves". Of course, when the "prophet" ceases to be profitable, something has to be done about Beale, preferably on camera, before a live studio audience...
