Great!I believe the term "masterpiece" is a horribly overused honorific when it comes to movie reviews on here and elsewhere. I also believe this is one of the few movies that actually deserves it. Btw, this is in no way a comedy..Score: 5/5

Depravity Knows No BoundsBefore the advent of Reality TV, there was Network. The main review above had it right when it described this film as "still relevant." Shows how out of control the sick insanity of human beings can become when competition is fierce. Depicts how very aware the execs of our "serious" news sources are about being, first and foremost, an entertainment medium. As with any older movie, the acting can seem a little dated, but Dunaway and Duvall really shine, and Holden is solid as always- and these were the non-Oscar winners. Styles and decor made for great reminiscing for those of us who were around in the 70's. A worthwhile two hours..Score: 4/5

Go out and shout"" pretty edgy topic, huge corperations with alot of debt, banking on one individual. In a time of desperation a news anchor becomes livid and expressive. Nice story of love, greed, allegiance, and selfeshness..Score: 5/5

An acerbic historical documentationThis movie doesn't come alive until the second half, when Beatrice Straight, rivetingly, shows up to condemn William Holden for his unfaithfulness to her, and then when Ned Beatty delivers a succinct, and definitive, description of the way the corporate world works today, dire and prophetic back in 1976 - otherwise Faye Dunaway overacts outrageously, the others are, at least, effective, the script has its inspiring ups and its risible downs.Score: 4/5

This is surreal.It's an nwo warning 15 years in advance. It's NOT a new idea. But seeing this is a great idea. All the world really is staged..Score: 5/5

A sharp commentary on television apart from an unnecessary adultery plotAs another reviewer has mentioned, this movie is rather surreal and terrifying in its extremely cynical, but accurate depiction of corporate television. Although not a revolutionary film in that it does not offer true alternatives to corporate fascism, it does get the point across that power in the world is not held by nations, but rather by corporations. The biggest flaw however in this film is its totally gratuitous adultery plot with two of the main characters..Score: 4/5

Der langjährige Nachrichtensprecher Howard Beale soll wegen sinkender Quoten gefeuert werden. Vor laufender Kamera macht er sich in einem wütenden Ausbrucht Luft - und prompt jagt seine Rage die Ratings in die Höhe. Natürlich wird er sofort wieder eingestellt und als "zorniger Prophet" vermarktet. Doch was tun, sobald der Prophet keinen Profit mehr bringt? Es muss etwas geschehen! Am besten während einer Live-Sendung - vor Publikum.

Italiano
Vincitore di 4 Oscar e di 4 Golden Globe nel 1977 - altri 11 premi e 19 nomination.Howard Beale è un commentatore televisivo con un larghissimo seguito; il suo indice di gradimento però è in discesa e i suoi capi decidono di licenziarlo. Howard allora dichiara davanti alle telecamere che si ucciderà: da quel momento ha un successo strepitoso, specie da quando, credendosi direttamente in contatto con Dio, diventa una sorta di profeta trascinatore.

Português
Quando o veterano pivot Howard Beale é forçado a reformar-se do seu posto de 25 anos devido à sua idade, anuncia aos telespectadores que se vai suicidar durante a sua emissão de despedida. Os executivos da estação repensam a sua decisão quando a sua tirada fanática resulta num pico de audiências.

Pусский
Постоянный «гвоздь программы» новостей телестанции UBS-TV Говард Били погорел: во время прямого эфира у него случился нервный срыв. По иронии, публичное бесчинство подняло его и без того баснословный рейтинг, к неожиданному ликованию боссов UBS. Как следствие, прославившись «безумным пророком прямого эфира», вскоре он превратился в пешку для безжалостного теленачальства, которое выдаивало из него сумасшедшие выходки при любом удобном случае. Само собой, когда «пророк» стал не в прок, с ним надо было срочно что-то решать, желательно перед камерой, и при полной аудитории.

Au milieu des années 70, les informations à la télévision changent. Le journalisme perd en effet pied face au pouvoir de l'argent et le besoin croissant de divertissement. Une rédaction se bat alors pour maintenir son audience sans se compromettre.

Español
Tras 25 años trabajando en una cadena, el veterano presentador Howard Beale debe abandonar su puesto por el bajo nivel de audiencia. Su jefe y mejor amigo, Max Schumacher, le da dos semanas para despedirse de los espectadores. Beale, viudo y alcohólico, queda trastocado y decide anunciar durante una emisión que se suicidará en su último programa ante las cámaras. El hecho sin precedentes provoca una gran expectación y los propios compañeros tratarán de convertir la destrucción de este hombre en un negocio rentable.

普通话
  1975年,纽约。霍华德·比尔曾经是美国联合广播公司(UBS)《无线新闻》节目的王牌主播,但最近几年,随着妻子离世,他的精神状态和事业都在向低谷滑落。由于节目收视率持续下跌,公司决定在两周后解雇他。新闻部主管麦克尔·舒马赫是霍华德多年的老朋友,他不得不亲自把这个消息告诉霍华德,然后,他们一起去酒吧解酒浇愁。情绪沮丧的霍华德突然说自己要在电视上自杀,麦克尔玩笑说,好,那我们可以就势做一个专门报道凶杀、灾难和战争的节目,就叫《一周恐怖要闻》,收视率一定大涨。    谁也没想到,在第二天的电视直播里,霍华德竟然真的宣布说自己要在一周后的节目里自杀。这一失态举动引来媒体一片哗然,UBS电视网高层更是十分震怒,刚刚接管了UBS的美国通讯公司主席弗兰克·哈克特,在电视网主管们面前大发雷霆,然而敏锐的麦克尔却注意到,这个野心勃勃的新任总裁的矛头并非单纯指向霍华德,而是他负责的整个新闻部。最近一年,新闻部节目收视下降,亏损严重,弗兰克·哈克早就有心对其开刀。果然,在第二天上午的董事会上,弗兰克·哈克特擅自宣布将新闻部降级,麦克尔恼羞成怒,找到UBS原总裁尼尔森,然而已经没有实权的尼尔森对此也爱莫能助。    晚上的新闻直播,原计划是让霍华德为前一天的失态向观众作出合理解释,然而深感前途无望的霍华德却再次大放厥词,言辞激烈地表达了对当代美国国民精神状态的不满和愤怒,而麦克尔当时就在现场,心情复杂的他并没有阻止霍华德,反而借霍华德的愤慨之词,出了一口恶气。    戴安娜·克里斯特森是UBS一位富有野心的年轻女制片人,她是一个工作狂,思维敏锐、遇事果断,且善于利用男人,她正在策划一个相当冒险的电视节目——利用恐怖分子(一伙自称革命者的武装无政府组织)自己拍摄的行动录像,作一个类似今天“真实电视”的系列暴力节目。她对“霍华德事件”非常感兴趣,发现可以加以利用,于是找来最近两天的收视率调查结果,去说服和自己关系暧昧的UBS主席弗兰克·哈克特。令人深感意外的是,霍华德“丧心病狂”的直播,意外造成收视率的直线上升,弗兰克·哈克特也觉得有利可图,于是决定支持此事。

Şebeke, uzun yıllardır UBS Akşam Haberleri isimli programda haber spikerliği yapan Howard Beale’nin hikayesini konu alır. Beale’in ratingleri günden güne düşmektedir ve nihayetinde bir çalışma arkadaşından, iki hafta içerisinde işinden kovulacağını öğrenir. Bunu öğrendiğinde büyük bir depresyona giren adam, ertesi akşam canlı yayında, gelecek Salı günü canlı yayında intihar edeceğini anons eder. Haliyle bu şok duyurudan sonra işler fazlasıyla karışır.

Magyar
A film egy amerikai tévécsatorna életébe nyújt bepillantást. Az egyik legnépszerűbb kommentátort, Howard Beale-t el akarják távolítani, mert esni kezdett a nézettsége. A kétségbeesett férfi élő adásban jelenti be, hogy öngyilkos lesz. Mivel ettől a nézettség látványosan megugrik, a csatorna vezetői elhatározzák, hogy kihasználják Beale hirtelen jött népszerűségét, és egy saját műsort adnak neki, amelyben szabadon átkozhatja a médiát.

Română
Peter Finch joacă rolul unui prezentator de știri care este concediat. Reacția lui la această decizie este să-și exprime furia în direct și să anunțe că, în cadrul ultimei emisiuni, peste două săptămâni, se va sinucide în direct. În paralel, filmul urmărește personajul lui Faye Dunaway, pe care dorința de a obține audiențe cât mai mari cu orice preț o împinge către decizii șocante și comportamente aberante.

Dansk
Den aldrende nyhedsoplæser Howard Beale erfarer, at han kun har to uger tilbage på arbejdet grundet dalende seertal. I vrede og fuldskab annoncerer han, at han vil begå selvmord for åben skærm. Hvorfor ikke, nu hvor der ikke er nogen der lytter? Han må selvfølgelig trække ordene i sig igen, men nu har nyhedsredaktionen fået blod på tanden og øjner en publikumsmagnet i Howard Beale. I løbet af de næste uger opnår Beale heltestatus som en slags missionær og talerør, der siger ligeud, hvad folket mener om det amerikanske samfund og om verdenssituationen – direkte på tv! Men i en tid hvor der ikke er nogen skrupler, hvordan vil cheferne holde seertallene høje?

Στο φιλμ έχουμε τέσσερις βασικούς χαρακτήρες σε διαφορετικά πόστα του συστήματος. Ο Χάουαρντ είναι ένας newscaster που χάνει την δημοτικότητα του και ως εκ τούτου, βλέπει την απόλυση του να έρχεται. Σε μια στιγμή απόλυτης ειλικρίνειας, λέει μερικές αλήθειες στην τελευταία του εμφάνιση. Τα νούμερα εκτινάσσονται, και ο Χάουαρντ παίρνει το δικό του σώου απο-καλύψεων”. Ο Μαξ είναι ο διευθυντής του τμήματος ειδήσεων του καναλιού. Άνθρωπος ρομαντικός, μα και χωμένος στα κόλπα της τηλεόρασης από τα γεννοφάσκια της. Προσπαθώντας να αντισταθεί στον απόλυτο εξευτελισμό του τμήματος του, θα χάσει την θέση του. Η Νταϊάνα είναι υπεύθυνη προγράμ-ματος. Σκοπός της είναι να πάρει κάθε τι αληθινό και να το εκμεταλλευτεί (βγάζοντας καλά φράγκα) έως ότου αυτό ξεφτίσει. Τέλος, ο Φρανκ είναι ένα διοικητικό στέλεχος της εταιρίας που έχει εξαγοράσει το κανάλι. Τα μόνα πράγματα που τον ενδιαφέρουν είναι να ανέβει στην κορυφή της διοίκησης και τα κέρδη!

Polski
Howard Beale (Peter Finch), prezenter wiadomości w telewizyjnej stacji UBS, dostaje wymówienie z pracy z powodu spadku oglądalności jego programu. W ostatnim swoim wejściu na antenę zamierza zapowiedzieć popełnienie samobójstwa, zmienia jednak plan i zamiast tego wykrzykuje do mikrofonu swoją opinię na temat sytuacji, jaka panuje w społeczeństwie amerykańskim. Widzowie są zachwyceni, a sieć telewizyjna zwiększa swoje dochody. Jednak wkrótce telewizyjny prorok staje się dla zwierzchników uciążliwy.

Český
Snímek Network, břitká satira na "senzacechtivé zpravodajství", se zdá být s každým uplynulým rokem aktuálnější než kdy dřív. Howard Beale, moderátorská hvězda televizní společnosti UBS, je poslán do důchodu, protože příliš zestárl. Beale nedokáže přenést přes srdce, že po pětadvaceti letech přijde o práci jenom kvůli věku. V dalších zprávách proto divákům oznámí, že během svého posledního vysílání spáchá sebevraždu. Šéf televizní stanice Frank Hackett chce Bealea na místě vyhodit, když se ale ukáže, že by UBS mohla dosáhnout v den Bealeovy smrti nejvyšší sledovanosti v historii, kariéristka Diana Christensenová šéfa přesvědčí, aby tohle osudové závěrečné vysílání pojali jako zvláštní událost. Beale se samozřejmě nakonec nezabije - ale začne nesouvisle hovořit o hrozném stavu světa a televize především. Díky tomu se z něj stane nejžhavější osobnost americké televize.

български език
Големият проблем на нашата телевизия не се крие толкова в това, че подхранва насилието в реалността. По-страшното е, че тя ни прави безчувствени към това насилие, към порока и бруталността, убийствата и смъртта. Телевизията разруши човешката същност на индивида. Тя изгради нова реалност по свой образ и подобие и замести с нея истинската действителност.

Kymmenen Oscar-ehdokkuutta kerännyt Kasvot kuvaruudussa on satiiri tv-aseman uutisankkurista, joka nousee kansansuosikiksi ja profeetaksi omaperäisillä, tyytymättömillä puheillaan. Vuonna 1976 ensi-iltansa saanut, mutta yhä ajankohtainen elokuva kuvaa tv-julkisuuden ja katsojakilpailun kyynisiä lakeja. Elokuvan ohjasi Sidney Lumet. Uutisankkuri Howard Beale siirretään 25 työvuoden jälkeen pois tehtävästään. Beale ryhtyy kuitenkin vihaiseen vastahyökkäykseen, mikä puhuttelee televisiouutisten latteisiin lauseisiin tylsistyneitä katsojia.

Treat Williams ("Once Upon a Time in America") portrays special investigator Danny Ciello, in this epic film from Sidney Lumet ("Serpico," "The Verdict") about a New York detective who turns state's evidence and is plunged into a nightmare of conflicting moral issues.

Fail-Safe summary, synopsis, reviews
Fail-SafeDrama1964

One of the greatest anti-war thrillers ever, Fail-Safe stars Henry Fonda, Walter Matthau, Dan O'Herlihy, Larry Hagman and Fritz Weaver (in his film debut) as a group of military men on the verge of World War III. When a military computer error deploys a squadron of SAC bombers to destroy Moscow, the American President (Fonda) tries to call them back. But their sophisticated fail-safe system prevents him from aborting the attack, so he must convince the Soviets not to retaliate. In desperation, the President offers to sacrifice an American city if his pilots succeed in their deadly mission over Moscow. A four-star techno-thriller that builds tension and suspense with every tick of the nuclear clock.

Running On Empty (1988)Drama1988

River Phoenix rose to stardom -- and an Academy Award-nomination -- in this poignant drama from director Sidney Lumet ("The Verdict," "Dog Day Afternoon"). Ex-radicals Judd Hirsch ("Independence Day," "Taxi") and Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-winner Christine Lahti (TV's "Chicago Hope," "Swing Shift") have raised their family in hiding, constantly moving and changing aliases to flee facing charges from an inadvertent crime they committed as war protestors 15 years earlier. As their eldest son (Phoenix) comes of age, he is torn between running with his beloved fugitive parents, or developing his musical talents and pursuing his own life, which includes new girlfriend (Martha Plimpton, "The Mosquito Coast," "Goonies"). Nominated for two Oscars and 4 Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture, Actress and Director, Siskel & Ebert call this "...one of Lumet's best films...one of the best movies of the year...the acting in this film is wonderful," while the Los Angeles Times praises this as "...one of those rare films likely to mean as much to teens as it does to their parents...uncommonly tender, funny and lifelike...a major American film."

King: A Filmed Record... Montgomery to MemphisDocumentary1970

Constructed from a wealth of archival footage, KING: A FILMED RECORD...MONTGOMERY TO MEMPHIS is a monumental documentary that follows Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from 1955 to 1968, in his rise from regional activist to world-renowned leader of the Civil Rights movement. Rare footage of King's speeches, protests, and arrests are interspersed with scenes of other high-profile supporters and opponents of the cause, punctuated by heartfelt testimonials by some of Hollywood's biggest stars. KING was originally presented as a one-night-only special event on March 20, 1970, at an epic length of more than three hours (plus intermission). Since that time, the film has occasionally been circulated in a version shortened by more than an hour. Newly restored by the Library of Congress, in association with Richard Kaplan, and utilizing film elements provided by The Museum of Modern Art, the original version of KING can again be seen in its entirety, mastered in HD from the 35mm preservation negative. Admitted to the National Film Registry in 1999, KING is a cinematic national treasure that allows viewers to be first-hand witnesses to Dr. King's crusade, and thereby gain a fuller appreciation of both the personal challenges he endured and the vast cultural legacy he left behind.
