When veteran news anchor Howard Beale is forced to retire after 25 years due to his age, he responds with an explosive on-air breakdown. Instead of firing him, cynical network executives exploit his erratic behavior to boost ratings. This biting satire explores the dark reality of a media landscape where personal breakdowns are turned into primetime spectacle and the line between news and entertainment is irrevocably blurred.
