FILM DESCRIPTION:
When a group of civil rights workers goes missing in a small Mississippi town, FBI agents Alan Ward (Willem Dafoe) and Rupert Anderson (Gene Hackman) are sent in to investigate. Local authorities refuse to cooperate with them, and the African American community is afraid to, precipitating a clash between the two agents over strategy. As the situation becomes more volatile, the direct approach is abandoned in favor of more aggressive, hard-line tactics.

This is a magnificent film. Everything about it is top tier but nothing tops Hackman. For me, this is amongst his finest performances. I don’t think he’s ever put in an average performance in anything he’s ever appeared in and when he’s given a role like this, he’s just unbeatable. I’d argue he’s in the Top Five actors in movie history…easily Top Ten.

[@jameschesterton]

Yep defo top 5, Hackman was compelling in everything he did.

[@andresbravo704]

He visto mucho cine en 4 décadas, particularmente cine occidental. Y sí, comparto la opinión sobre la extraordinaria calidad actoral de Gene Hackman. Incluso, me atrevería a decir que, a diferencia de otros monstruos de la actuación (como De Niro, Brando y Al Pacino y tal vez Hoffman), el bueno de Gene no ha tenido películas mediocres. Como los mencionados, que han tenido sus "caídas" por ahí, y están en el Olimpo del cine. Entre las muchas notables interpretaciones de Hackman, destaco tres, aparte de Mississippi : Los Imperdonables - Contacto en Francia I - Superman.

[@thesoultwins72]

@Tyler Tilwick........I would go along with you on that and on your choice of Hackman film's [except 'Unforgiven' - which I thought was grossly over-rated].

A classic movie. One of the greatest ever made. Gene Hackman should have won the Oscar (Willem DeFoe should have won too, but sadly he was not nominated.). In fact the movie should have swept the Oscars. Unfortunately it was overshadowed by "Rain Man". "Rain Man" is a very good movie, but "Mississippi Burning" is light years ahead of it and is the better movie by far. I absolutely love the scene where Anderson (Hackman) tells Deputy Pell to get Sheriff Stuckey out of his office immediately. The look on Pell's face is priceless. Whenever I am having a bad day, I just look at movie clips from "Mississippi Burning" such as this one. Always puts a smile on my face. "...you backwoods shitass you..." BRILLIANT!
