The Temptations is a 1998 American television miniseries directed by Allan Arkush that chronicles the rise of Motown's legendary vocal group.

The miniseries features period-appropriate music and dramatized accounts of Ruffin's departure and the changing lineup that defined the Temptations' legacy.
