Murder in Mississippi is a 1990 American television film which dramatized the last weeks of civil rights activists Michael "Mickey" Schwerner, Andrew Goodman and James Chaney, and the events leading up to their disappearance and subsequent murder during Freedom Summer in 1964.

It starred Tom Hulce as Schwerner, Jennifer Grey as his wife Rita, Blair Underwood as Chaney, and Josh Charles as Goodman.

In 1964, members of the Ku Klux Klan murdered three Civil Rights workers who had traveled to the South to encourage African-American voter registration.

Empire wrote, "A TV movie true story with a good grasp on the history and politics of the time.

Hulce shows off a fine beatnik beard, his closest black colleague CCH Pounder is properly suspicious of the naive do-gooder to start with and the people they're up against are convincingly vicious throughout.
