Our take
Prime-time scheduling and end-times primal fury flare the airwaves in Sidney Lumet’s iconically clamorous satire. Winner of four Academy Awards®—including one for Faye Dunaway’s thrusting turn as a svelte and cutthroat programmer—Network exposes the boardroom circus behind the small screen.
