12 Angry Men

Life is in their hands. Death is on their minds.

Overview

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.

Didn’t seem one of the best movies ever like one could judge from IMDB, but the idea is universal, the acting and the screenplay are solid. That’s why it got so many good reviews.
