When the scientists of Chemacran create a remarkable new drug and begin to anticipate a takeover by a large U.S. pharmaceutical company, ethics are tested as potential for profit soars. Thankfully journalists Terry Corcoran (Finbar Lynch) and Maureen Bloand (Orla Brady) are more than willing to blow the lid off the story as big-business suits and powerful politicians make a desperate bid to cover up a series of deaths that have been attributed to the revolutionary drug. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

British filmmaker Mike Barker directs the political costume-drama To Kill a King. Set in 1645 at the end of the English Civil War, General Thomas Fairfax (Dougray Scott) celebrates the victory with his right-hand man Oliver Cromwell (Tim Roth). While, King Charles I (Rupert Everett) is held prisoner, he appeals to the sensibilities of Fairfax's wife, Lady Anne (Olivia Williams). The old friends disagree over what to do about the king; Fairfax is willing to compromise and Cromwell is far more strict. The Speaker of the House, Denzil Holles (James Bolam), leads a group of conspirators to make an illegal deal with the king, but they are discovered and subsequently punished. The king is put on trial and executed, making Cromwell in charge. The conclusion involves a reunion between Fairfax and a dying Cromwell. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Widow Victoria Riddler (Kate Mulgrew) and her wheelchair-bound son Elias (Daniel Newman) live a meager existence on an Indiana farm that hasn't yielded a crop in years. Then one day Elias experiences a strange vision--and before long, the Riddlers' north land is fertile and bountiful. Astonished by this phenomenon, the locals suspect that Elias has somehow developed diabolical superpowers. Only town drunk George (Corbin Bernsen) knows that the answer lies not in Elias, but in the stars. A presentation of UPN's off-and-on Nightworld TV-movie anthology, Riddler's Moon originally aired on November 5, 1998. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
