What they find is a tangled web of intimidation and silence, with no one willing to speak about the events for fear of Klan reprisals. The supporting cast features Brad Dourif as a local lawman and Frances McDormand in an Oscar-nominated performance as his wife.

Additional InformationIn 1964, when three civil-rights workers, two white and one black, mysteriously disappear while driving through Mississippi, two FBI agents, Ward (Willem Dafoe) and Anderson (Gene Hackman), are sent in to investigate. While Ward is young and by the book, Anderson is a seasoned southerner comfortable with the Byzantine (and, to Ward, morally ambiguous) ways of his region. Together they sift through a variety of leads and come up empty-handed--until the town sheriff's wife (Frances McDormand) steps forward and reveals some surprising information. In order to solve the case, the two contrasting agents must not only overcome the hostility of the local authorities and the black community but contend with their own differences as well.<BR>A fictionalized account of one of the landmarks in the civil-rights movement, MISSISSIPPI BURNING is a swift and powerful film. Director Alan Parker, continuing his investigation of human cruelty (begun explosively in his harrowing 1978 film MIDNIGHT EXPRESS), crafts a historically poignant film that fingers the monstrosities of a virulent strain of racial intolerance in America. Dafoe and Hackman are convincing as they investigate the disappearance of the civil-rights workers and unravel the grisly web of obfuscation around a scandalous, cancerous truth very near the heart of a nation.
ReviewsVariety - Parker pushes the picture along at a fervent clip, with the character scenes back-to-back with chases or violence., New York Times - Insistent [...] MISSISSIPPI BURNING is first-rate, Washington Post - MISSISSIPPI BURNING surveys the geography of racism, sheds light on the dark night of the soul., Sight and Sound - An almost visionary intensity

A true story extremely well told.
A superb, unpretentious, film with a first class cast. This is an only slightly fictionalised account of the murders of James Cheney, Michael Schwermer and Andrew Cheney, workers for the Congress Of Racial Equality, by members of The White Knights Of The Ku Klux Klan in Neshoba County, Mississippi during the summer of 1964. These were murders which the state authorities, incredibly, refused to prosecute. It finally fell to the federal authorities to bring charges, and even then not entirely successfully. Sadly, in my experience, the attitudes displayed here are still far too evident in so many people and countries even fifty-five years later!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
