In this gripping 1967 drama, a black Philadelphia detective, played by Sidney Poitier, finds himself reluctantly collaborating with a bigoted Southern police chief, portrayed by Rod Steiger, to solve a murder in a racially tense Mississippi town. The film, directed by Norman Jewison, masterfully explores themes of prejudice and justice, set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement.
