The Fifth Estate

    6:55 p.m. on HBO

    A dramatic thriller based on real events, “The Fifth Estate” reveals the quest to expose the deceptions and corruptions of power that turned an Internet upstart into the 21st century’s most fiercely debated organization. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg team up to become underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful. On a shoestring, they create a platform that allows whistleblowers to anonymously leak covert data, shining a light on the dark recesses of government secrets.

    The Emperor’s New Groove

    5:35 p.m. on HBO

    Outrageous comedy reigns supreme in a mythical mountain kingdom when arrogant young Emperor Kuzco is transformed into a llama by his power-hungry advisor — the devious diva Yzma. Stranded in the jungle, Kuzco’s only chance to get back home and reclaim the high life rests with a good-hearted peasant named Pacha. Kuzco must deal with hair-raising dangers, wild comic predicaments and — most horrifying of all — each other as they race to return Kuzco to the throne before Yzma tracks them down and finishes him off. Ultimately, Kuzco’s budding friendship with Pacha teaches this royal pain to see his world in a different way.
