12 Angry Men
It explodes like 12 sticks of dynamite!
- 1957
- Rated NR
- 1h 37m
- Drama
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.
