A 50th anniversary screening of Sidney Lumet's satirical masterpiece about a struggling television network where an ambitious executive finds success with a disgruntled newscaster who becomes a populist prophet. This prescient critique of corporate media and outrage-driven news cycles won four Oscars and remains a fearlessly relevant New Hollywood classic.
