Network 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray brings Sidney Lumet’s scathing, frighteningly prophetic media satire into sharp new clarity. Powered by Paddy Chayefsky’s razor-edged screenplay, the film dissects a collapsing television network where ratings desperation turns a disillusioned news anchor into an accidental revolutionary. As Howard Beale’s furious on-air tirades become a cultural phenomenon, ambitious executive Diana Christensen seizes the moment, blurring the lines between journalism, entertainment, and exploitation. Still shockingly relevant, Network remains a ferocious critique of corporate media, spectacle-driven outrage, and the machinery of televised manipulation.
