8-10PM
Hope (TNT, TV-PG) ''It's a tough story, and there are a lot of stories within it,'' says first-time director Goldie Hawn (above) of the feature, starring Jena Malone, Christine Lahti, Catherine O'Hara, and J.T. Walsh. Set in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis and told through the eyes of a 12-year-old girl (Malone), it portrays the tensions ignited in a small Mississippi town by the untimely death of a black youth. In the process, the film likens the civil rights movement to the Cold War. Says Hawn: ''It's basically a metaphor for understanding that through these situations, whether it's racial riots or war between nations, [you can] conquer your fears by dealing with your own personal truth and not being afraid of it.''

8-10:30PM
Jane Eyre (A&E, TV-PG) Charlotte Brontë's masterpiece of melodrama about the orphan governess and the lordly hunk who adores her receives a beautifully burnished TV adaptation far superior to the logy 1944 Joan Fontaine-Orson Welles movie. Samantha Morton (above right) — Harriet Smith in A&E's version of Emma — is a great Jane: She makes spunkiness gravely dignified. As the imperious but sapheaded-in-love Mr. Rochester, Ciaran Hinds (Cold Lazarus) bellows orders and protestations of passion with equal fervor. Robert Young, who directed the recent John Cleese film Fierce Creatures, avoids Masterpiece Theatre solemnity and ends up with a potboiler you'll want to watch more than once. A- — KT
