A television network cynically exploits a former anchor's ravings and revelations about mass media for its own profit, but finds that his message may be difficult to control. What seemed unimaginable in 1976 has become remarkably prescient in our "do anything for a rating or a like" world. One of the sharpest satires ever released by a major studio, from one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation, NETWORK was nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards, winning four and deservedly sweeping all four major acting categories. 

Starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, and Beatrice Straight.
