A number of Oscar winners come to the small screen this week. In his last performance before his death, James Coburn gives an amazing performance as a man searching for answers following his daughter's death in "American Gun". In their first on-screen appearance together, Gene Hackman and Dustin play lawyers opposite each other in "Runaway Jury". This film, which is based on a novel by John Grisham, also stars John Cusack and Rachel Weisz. In "Dummy", 2003 Oscar Winner Adrien Brody uses his knack for ventriloquism to win the heart of Lorena, played by Vera Farmiga.
