Dreamgirls

    4:45 p.m. on HBO

    Set in the turbulent late 1960s and early 1970s, “Dreamgirls” follows the rise of a trio of women: Effie, Deena and Lorrell. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager Curtis, who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the backup singers for headliner James ‘Thunder’ Early. Curtis gradually takes control of the girls, giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight, however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether. Success will come, but is the price too high?

    Mad Max:

    Fury Road

    9 p.m. on HBO

    Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.
