SATURDAY, JULY 12
5AM ET
HEADLINERS & LEGENDS: MEL GIBSON (http://headliners.msnbc.com)
Mel Gibson is best known as the action star of "Mad Max" and "Lethal Weapon." His
popularity with fans and studio heads alike puts him in a class of his own. For Mel,
though, professional success continues to take a back seat to what is most important
for him - his family. There is much more to Mel Gibson that good looks and raw
masculinity. In this hour, we take a look into the life and career of Mel Gibson.
6AM ET
HEADLINERS & LEGENDS: BRUCE WILLIS
Bruce Willis stunned Hollywood when he successfully jumped from a TV sitcom to movie
royalty. He gained international celebrity and all that goes with it - the money, the
fame and a very public divorce from wife Demi Moore. For this hero of box office
blockbusters, the road to superstardom was long. See how this Manhattan bartender
moonlighted his way straight to the top.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC ULTIMATE EXPLORER: HOLY WAR, INC.
Journalist Peter Bergen takes a look at Osama bin Laden and the inner workings of his
far-reaching terrorist network. In 1997, Bergen was one of a handful of western
journalists to have met and interviewed bin Laden. This program takes an in-depth look
at the origins and past actions of al-Qaeda. Drawing on Bergen's four years of
investigative reporting, Holy War, Inc, features insights from leading US
counter-terrorism experts and exclusive interviews with those who have intimate
knowledge of bin Laden and his operations.
10PM ET
MSNBC INVESTIGATES: HELD HOSTAGE (http://investigates.msnbc.com)
They called it a one-man crime wave. First, a bank robbery, then a high-speed chase
through two states, and finally, a home invasion and hostage standoff. Then, a family
is taken by surprise again when they face the same man in court!
11PM ET
MSNBC INVESTIGATES: TERROR IN NORTH HOLLYWOOD
February 28, 1997. A Bank robbery quickly turns into an all-out gun battle between
two suspects and an army of police officers. But it's the cops who are outgunned. In
this chilling documentary we take you back to that day, in North Hollywood, where the
cops tell us of the sheer terror of being in the middle of a battle the suspects
intended to fight to the death. For those who lived to tell their stories, will life
ever be the same? And why, after this 42 minute assault, were the cops left to defend
themselves, accused of committing murder! The action in this program may seem like a
scene out of a movie-- but it's horrifyingly real.
12AM ET
MSNBC INVESTIGATES: THIEVES CAUGHT ON TAPE
Let's face it-- these days Big Brother is everywhere, watching our every move. There
are cameras in public places not only to make sure we are safe, but to catch the bad
guys when they strike. So why exactly would someone try to pull off a crime knowing
cameras have to be watching???
