Newscaster Howard Beale has a message for those who package reports of cute puppies, movie premieres and fender benders as hard news: "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore." Sidney Lumet directs Paddy Chayefsky's satire (an Academy Award winning screenplay) about the things people do for love and ratings. Three performers won Oscars.

Best Actor Peter Finch is Beale, whose airwave rants become a phenomenon and William Holden, Robert Duvall and Best Supporting Actress Beatrice Straight add to the fierce vitality. Show more
