Movies

"Traffic"

Director Steven Soderbergh, screenwriter Stephen Gaghan and co-star Benicio Del Toro won Oscars for this engrossing 2000 drama about the international narcotics trade. Three stories intersect as an American drug czar (Michael Douglas) finds his daughter addicted, a Mexican policeman (Del Toro) stops looking the other way, and a trafficker's wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones) seeks revenge. 7 p.m., AMC, Channel 55.

"Lawrence of Arabia"

After making "The Bridge on the River Kwai," director David Lean and producer Sam Spiegel reteamed on another epic, the saga of World War I officer T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole, in his movie debut). The Englishman befriends the Saudi Arabians during their battle with the Turks, and the result makes history. So did this 1962 film, which won seven Oscars including best picture. Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn and Omar Sharif also star. 7 p.m., TCM, Channel 65.

"Mulan"

A Chinese maiden (voice of Ming-Na) disguises herself as a man to take her father's place in battle against invading Huns in this colorful Disney animated adaptation of an Asian legend. The impressive voice cast also includes B.D. Wong, Miguel Ferrer, Harvey Fierstein, Beth Fowler and George Takei, but Eddie Murphy steals the show as the voice of Mushu, a tiny dragon who becomes Mulan's traveling companion. 8 p.m., Disney, Channel 45.
