Summary:
"A searing portrait of television exploitation. When longtime news anchor Howard Beale 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, prefeably on camera, before a live studio audience."
