Heaven’s Gate (KTLA Friday at 7 p.m.) Time seems to be vindicating Michael Cimino’s hugely controversial 1980 Western epic, a glorious yet critical account of an 1890 Wyoming range war revealing the betrayal of the American Dream for the common man by those in power. As with “The Deer Hunter,” Cimino is able to confront an ugly national tragedy and carry us through it to express a profound love of country. With Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, Isabelle Huppert.
