CRISIS IN THE RED SEA - As tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East and the Iran-allied Houthi militia launch strikes against commercial and U.S. Navy ships in the southern Red Sea, 60 MINUTES' Norah O'Donnell was the first journalist to report from the region in the air, on the water, and inside the 5th Fleet's command center at naval headquarters in Bahrain. O'Donnell speaks with the deputy commander of U.S. forces in the Middle East, Vice Admiral Brad Cooper, and other Navy officers about a new kind of warfare on the high seas involving anti-ship ballistic missiles, as well as the disruption of international shipping traffic and whether an endgame is in sight. Keith Sharman and Roxanne Feitel are the producers.

FAKE ELECTORS - In the aftermath of President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election, Republicans in seven states where he won, including Wisconsin, banded together and cast fake electoral votes for Donald Trump. Correspondent Anderson Cooper reports on Wisconsin's fake presidential electors and interviews Andrew Hitt, an attorney and former GOP state chair, who claims he and his fellow fake electors were tricked into signing the documents. Special counsel Jack Smith alleges the fake votes were part of a plan, orchestrated by Donald Trump and conspirators, to try to overturn the election. Sarah Koch is the producer.

FINDING CILLIAN MURPHY - Ahead of the 96th Academy Awards, correspondent Scott Pelley joins enigmatic actor Cillian Murphy in Ireland for a candid interview since being nominated for Best Actor in the blockbuster film "Oppenheimer." Pelley talks to the Oscar front-runner about how he transforms for roles, his secret to maintaining a low profile and more. Nicole Young is the producer.
