12 Angry Men
Directed by Sidney Lumet
1h 37mUnited StatesEnglish
It explodes like 12 sticks of dynamite!
The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.
