Passing through the backwoods town of Sparta, Mississippi, Philadelphia detective Virgil Tibbs
(Sidney Poitier) becomes embroiled in a murder case. He forms an uneasy alliance with the bigoted
police chief (Rod Steiger), who faces mounting pressure from Sparta s hostile citizens to catch the
killer and run the African American interloper out of town. Director Norman Jewison splices incisive
social commentary into this thrilling police procedural with the help of Haskell Wexler s vivid
cinematography, Quincy Jones s eclectic score, and two indelible lead performances a career-defining
display of seething indignation and moral authority from Poitier and an Oscar-winning master class
in Method acting from Steiger. Winner of five Academy Awards, including for best picture, In the
Heat of the Night is one of the most enduring Hollywood films of the civil rights era.
