12 Angry Men (1957)

[spslf]

Directed by Sidney Lumet, 12 Angry Men is a courtroom drama that takes place almost entirely in a jury room. The film follows 12 jurors who must decide the fate of a young man accused of murder. At first, the case seems like a clear-cut conviction, but one juror (Henry Fonda) begins to question the evidence and challenges the others to reconsider their verdicts. As tensions rise, the film examines prejudice, personal biases, and the importance of moral responsibility in the justice system. 12 Angry Men remains an essential study in human behavior, group dynamics, and the power of reason and integrity.
