Movie: The Thomas

Crown Affair, 8 PM on

TCM: Style is everything in the original 1968 version of this sophistica­ted crime story, casting

Steve McQueen as an urbane Boston millionair­e who mastermind­s bank robberies for kicks. Faye Dunaway (who also was in the 1999 remake) plays the insurance investigat­or determined to get the goods on him — but she doesn’t count on surrenderi­ng her emotions in the process. Director Norman Jewison’s cast also includes Paul Burke, Jack Weston and Yaphet Kotto. The film airs tonight as part of TCM’s day-long “Summer Under the Stars” salute to McQueen.

Movie: Bloodshot, 8 PM on STARZ: Based on a Valiant Comics character, this 2020 superhero action movie stars Vin Diesel as Ray Garrison, a Marine who is killed in action, then brought back to life with new superpower­s by an organizati­on that plans to use him as a weapon. Sam Heughan (“Outlander”), Eiza González, Toby Kebbell, Guy Pearce and Lamorne Morris also star in the film, which launches a projected new cinematic universe, with Diesel expected to reprise his role in upcoming sequels.

MLB Baseball, 9:30 PM on FS1: The Los Angeles Dodgers get to show off their shiny — and pricey — new addition tonight in Anaheim, Calif., when they pay a visit to their area rivals the Los Angeles Angels in the opener of a three-game series.

The Dodgers made the blockbuste­r trade of the offseason when they acquired former AL MVP Mookie Betts from the Boston Red Sox in a fiveplayer deal, then signed the All-Star right fielder to a record 12-year, $365 million contract. It’s another expensive move by one of MLB’s flagship franchises that the team hopes will finally bring it a world championsh­ip.
