Esej analizira narativ američkog filma Mreža – „skandalozne” društvene satire iz 1976. godine u cilju bližeg ispitivanja njegovih kritičkih dometa i prirode njegovih kulturno-političkih poruka. Film je interpretiran kao svojevrsna dramatizovana američka jeremijada, tj. „politička propoved u dramskoj formi”, a analiza narativa izvedena je prema tročlanoj strukturi američke jeremijade: evociranje idealnog stanja iz prošlosti, osuda i lamentacija trenutne degradacije, i poziv na pokajanje, obnovu i progres. Iako Mreža otvoreno i oštro kritikuje određene kulturno-političke aspekte američkog društva prve polovine ‘70-ih godina dvadesetog veka, ovaj rad nastoji da pokaže da film ne
uspeva da iskoči iz svog kulturno-političkog ideološkog okvira, te da svojom dramskom strukturom i raspletom reafirmiše postojeći, prateći tehniku američke jeremijade koja to uvek čini podsećanjem i pozivom na idealne drevne američke vrednosti. U slučaju Mreže, ta vrednost je koncept moralno odlične individue. Poslednje razmatranje esej posvećuje ulozi humora u filmu u svetlu sveukupne interpretacije njegovog narativa.
