Oscar-winning drama, starring Peter Finch, Faye Dunaway, William Holden

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any more!" Howard Beale, a veteran newscaster facing the sack after 25 years, is about to become his network's biggest attraction. As the ratings rocket, Howard becomes the "mad prophet" of the airwaves - but do the networks and the viewers really want to hear the truth?
