A scathing, energetic satire of television's corruption and the commodification of human despair, driven by rage and dark comedy.
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.
