Short description
Freddy Heflin is the sheriff of a place everyone calls “Cop Land” — a small and seemingly peaceful town populated by the big city police officers he’s long admired. Yet something ugly is taking place behind the town’s peaceful facade. And when Freddy uncovers a massive, deadly conspiracy among these local residents, he is forced to take action and make a dangerous choice between protecting his idols and upholding the law.
What's left behind the scenes
- Sylvester Stallone gained 40 pounds specifically for this film, increasing his waist size from 31 to 39 inches. During the weight gain process, he developed sciatica, palpitations, bile reflux, digestive problems, and headaches.
- At the end of the film, when Sylvester Stallone's and Ray Liotta's characters are escorting Michael Rapaport's character to hand him over to the authorities, Robert De Niro's character is shown exiting a building with mustaches longer than usual. This was the result of a reshoot conducted while De Niro was already filming Quentin Tarantino's thriller 'Jackie Brown' (1997), in which his character wore a long mustache.
- Miramax had high hopes for the film, as did actor Sylvester Stallone, who dreamed of ending a slump in his career. Critical reviews were generally positive, but the box office returns were not very impressive; according to Stallone, he found working on the film interesting and enjoyable, but it did nothing to help his career (if anything, it did the opposite).

- The credits state that the events depicted in the film are fictional, but director James Mangold grew up in a small town in New York state where many police officers' families lived. In one interview, Mangold mentioned that the storyline is based on his own memories of growing up among the children of police officers.
- The film was originally intended to be shown at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, but reshoots of many scenes were required, and these reshoots took place in May (the month when the film festival is traditionally held), so the idea of showing the film in Cannes had to be abandoned.
