Attack on Terror: The FBI vs. the Ku Klux Klan is a 1975 American two-part made-for-television drama film which dramatizes the events following the 1964 abduction and murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner in Mississippi. In this, it is similar in theme to the later 1988 movie Mississippi Burning , though some names and details were changed, and the approximate storyline of both productions is preceded by the events portrayed in the 1990 TV movie Murder in Mississippi .
