IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT is a 1967 US drama about a black police officer who helps a Southern sheriff solve a murder case.

threat and horror
In one racially motivated scene a group of white men armed with makeshift weapons threaten the black police officer. However, there is no violent detail.
sex
In one scene a man looks through a window at an apparently naked woman, who returns his gaze; however, there is no detail of nudity. There are also verbal references to sexual activity, including a man saying that sex with a sixteen year old is rape.
discrimination
There is some racist language (eg 'n****r'), along with associated prejudicial attitudes; however, the film does not condone racism or bigotry.
additional issues
There is some mild violence, most notably in a scene in which a man is shot. There are also verbal references to abortion and very mild bad language ('damn', 'butt').
