What it’s about. 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.
