About
A veteran UBS news anchor announces he will kill himself on air, and his ratings spike leads executives to exploit his outbursts.
In September 1975, Howard Beale (Peter Finch) is the longtime anchor of the evening news on the Union Broadcasting System. His friend Max Schumacher (William Holden), president of the news division, tells him that declining ratings leave him only two more weeks on the air. The next night Beale announces to viewers that he will kill himself on the following Tuesday's newscast. UBS wants to fire him immediately, but Schumacher intervenes so that Beale can have a dignified farewell. Beale promises to apologise, yet on air he launches into a rant. The outburst causes ratings to spike, and UBS executives decide to exploit the situation. When the ratings soon top out, Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) approaches Schumacher with an offer to develop Beale's show.
