"Broken Trail" (8 p.m. tonight and Monday, AMC): Robert Duvall, who wowed television viewers in the 1989 landmark miniseries "Lonesome Dove," is back in the saddle again for this enthralling four-hour cable miniseries. Duvall is superb as Print Ritter, a grizzled cowboy who coaxes his estranged nephew (Thomas Hayden Church) to help him drive a herd of horses from Oregon to Wyoming. But what starts out as a journey of male-bonding becomes highly complicated when the men rescue a group of Chinese women who have been sold into sex slavery. The fateful act of decency plunges their lives into peril and drastically alters their destinies. Directed with a deft touch by Walter Hill and beautifully photographed, "Broken Trail" immediately takes its place among classic TV Westerns. Greta Scacchi and Chris Mulkey also star.
"Deadwood" (9 p.m., HBO): The exhilarating third season of "Deadwood" continues with an episode that has theater impresario Jack Langrishe (Brian Cox) arriving in town to spice things up. He's an old friend of shady Al Swearengen's, who remains locked in a dangerous battle of wills with mining magnate George Hearst.
"Inside the Actors Studio" (9 p.m., Bravo): "Studio" welcomes its 200th guest, Dustin Hoffman, tonight during a special two-hour episode. Our man, James Lipton, grills Hoffman about his life and career, which spans such memorable films as "The Graduate," "Midnight Cowboy," "Tootsie" and "Rainman."
