The film is inspired by the murder of voting rights activists James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman by the Ku Klux Klan.
In a review for Radio Times, former BBC film critic Barry Norman described the film's opening as "pure cinema, something no other medium could do so effectively."
Gene Hackman decided that he would no longer make violent films after seeing a brief, violent clip of his performance in this film (taken out of context, in his eyes) at the 1989 Oscars. That stance prevented him from accepting a job as director of The Silence of the Lambs (1991) and almost cost him the Sheriff role in Unforgiven (1992), which he reluctantly accepted after Clint Eastwood convinced him. That role that earned great acclaim, and his second Oscar.

"Mrs. Pell: It's not good for you to be here. Agent Anderson: Why? Mrs. Pell: It's ugly. This whole thing is so ugly. Have you any idea what it's like to live with all this? People look at us and only see bigots and racists. Hatred isn't something you're born with. It gets taught. At school, they said segregation what's said in the Bible... Genesis 9, Verse 27. At 7 years of age, you get told it enough times, you believe it. You believe the hatred. You live it... you breathe it. You marry it."
