Description

A hot, muggy New York City... Twelve white-male jurors try to reach a verdict in a murder trial--a case involving a Puerto Rican teenager from the slums who is accused of knifing his father to death. Eleven jurors agree that the defendant is guilty...but one man, believing the boy is innocent, sets out to convince the other jurors he's right by building a case for acquittal. Based on a television play by Reginald Rose.

    The fact it was shot entirely in one room and still comes off as epic is a feat in itself. Great movie.

    The angry man gets super angry, then everything gets settled and the movie ends.

    Amazing ensemble of actors!!! Henry Fonda at his best! I see this movie at least six times a year. In my top 3 of all time.

    It is old and sometimes just a little strained, but it holds up. I will watch it every 2-3 years and enjoy it every time.

  • Really a great movie.

    Superb acting, (Lee J. Cobb in particular) superb writing, and superb direction, although not gripping for the whole time. It's definitly worth seeing though.

  • A true classic

    This is quite simply one of the finest films every made. Gets deep into human psychology but in an organic way that is easy to relate to. Highly recommended!

    Such a classic film. Watched for a paper in my philosophy class and it's extremely in depth and it really makes you pay attention to characters. 12 Angry Men even lets you get immersed in the realistic and down to earth relatable characters and social issues and topics that relate to any period in time. One of the few movies I would recommend as must watch .

    The themes of 12 Angry Men couldn't be more relevent in this era of Trump and Brexit. A stunning story about courage, self-reflection, and the dangers of herd mentality. Even though 90% of the film takes place in one room, there's never a dull moment. Highly, highly recommended. Should be required viewing in schools.
