Originally a 1976 film (starring legends like Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch), Network predicted a world where TV news stops reporting and starts performing—and wow, was it spot-on. Think viral moments before YouTube, reality TV before Kardashians, and that famous rallying cry: “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
Director Thomas-Robert Irvin says it best, “Network has always been ahead of its time. In today’s 24/7 news cycle, it feels more relevant—and a little unsettling—than ever.”
When disillusioned news anchor Howard Beale goes rogue on live TV, his meltdown rockets him to fame. Corporate execs are thrilled to milk his madness for ratings, but at what cost? Add a ruthless media mogul and a relentless quest for profits, and you’ve got a story that will keep you laughing, gasping, and thinking long after the curtain falls.
