In the 1970s, terrorist violence is the stuff of networks' nightly news programming and the corporate structure of the UBS Television Network is changing. Meanwhile, Howard Beale, the aging UBS news anchor, has lost his once strong ratings share and so the network fires him. Beale reacts in an unexpected way. We then see how this affects the fortunes of Beale, his coworkers (Max Schumacher and Diana Christensen), and the network.

It could be my favourite film of all time and still absolutely relevant for our times.
Every character, scene, word even is sculpted to perfection to lay out something that with other hands would just feel trite.
It can not be recommended highly enough. Watch it tonight or I'll be 'mad as hell'.
