I'm gonna kill myself.

Description: Network is a 1976 satirical drama directed by Sidney Lumet, written by Paddy Chayefsky, and starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, and Peter Finch. The film follows Howard Beale, a veteran news anchor who, after being fired, declares his intention to commit suicide on live television. His impassioned outbursts lead to a surge in ratings, prompting the network to exploit his mental breakdown for profit.
