'''''In the Heat of the Night''''' (1967) is a murder mystery with an undercurrent of racism set in Mississippi. [[Rod Steiger]] got top billing for his role as police chief Gillespie, but the real star was [[Sidney Poitier]], as homicide expert Virgil Tibbs from Philadelphia.
While Tibbs was passing through, a man is found dead in Sparta, Miss.
Tibbs is picked up as a suspicious character, and Gillespie questions him as a suspect.
After the police pick up another man, they charge him instead of Tibbs.
Tibbs reveals he is a cop, chief Gillespie checks his credentials, and Tibb's boss asks him to help with the investigation.
