One of cinema’s most powerful critiques of the system and the media, Sidney Lumet’s Network follows a news anchor who suffers an on-air breakdown after learning that he is to be fired, only for a television executive to ruthlessly exploit it for ratings. Exposing how the nexus of media and capital manipulates and engulfs audiences in its pursuit of greater profits, disregarding ethics and human life, the film won Academy Awards for Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress at the 49th ceremony.
