Network -- Faye Dunaway and Peter Finch star in this satire of the news industry. When an anchorman has a breakdown on-air, threatening to kill himself on live TV, the event is twisted for ratings.

Things can't get much worse for Spencer Griffith (Joseph Mazzello, Jurassic Park); hailed as a dork in school and a dweeb at home, Spencer's only escape is in the comic book adventures of the "Midnight Warrior." But truth turns stranger than fiction when a meteor shower leaves behind a giant 7-foot tall warrior called "Cy," with super powers and a mind of its own! Spencer's social stock suddenly begins to rise. When a roving pack of intergalactic bounty hunters come gunning for Cy, it becomes the ultimate test of bravery as the giant and Spencer combine forces to save themselves- and the planet- in this spaced-out adventure the whole family will love.

Academy Award, Emmy and Golden-Globe winner Faye Dunaway ("Chinatown," "Bonnie and Clyde") and Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner Peter Finch ("Sunday Bloody Sunday," "The Nun's Story") star in this powerful and still-relevant satire of the news industry. When a news anchor has a nervous breakdown on live television, and threatens to kill himself on a following live newscast, the event is manipulated by his driven producer into a ratings smash. Nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Director, Actress, Supporting Actress, Original Screenplay and two for Actor (it won for Actor, Actress, Supporting Actress and Original Screenplay), and winner of four Golden Globe awards, including Best Director, Actor and Actress. Also starring Academy Award-winner William Holden ("Sunset Boulevard," "The Wild Bunch"), Academy Award-winner Beatrice Straight ("Poltergeist," "The Nun's Story"), Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner and Emmy-nominee Robert Duvall ("Falling Down," "The Godfather" 1 and 2).
