Howard Beale, the longtime anchor of the Union Broadcasting System's UBS Evening News, learns that he has two weeks left on air due to declining ratings. He announces on live television that he will commit suicide on his next broadcast. UBS tries to fire him, but allows him to have a dignified farewell. During his broadcast, he launches into a rant claiming that life is 'bullshit.' This causes the ratings to spike, and UBS decides to exploit Beale's antics. Diana Christensen, the head of the network's programming department, cuts a deal with a group of radical terrorists for a new docudrama series.

When Schumacher decides to end Beale's show, Christensen convinces Frank Hackett, another UBS executive, to move the show under the entertainment division. The show becomes the most highly rated program on television, and Beale becomes a celebrity preaching his message of anger. Max and Diana's romance initially suffers, but they eventually reconcile.

When Beale discovers that the network will be bought out by a larger conglomerate, he launches an on-screen tirade against the deal.
