| Synopsis |
| A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. “He doesn’t stand a chance,” mutters the guard, as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case – until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. “This is a remarkable thing about democracy,” says the foreign-born juror, “that we are notified by mail to come down to this place – and decide on the guilt or innocence of a man… of a man we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing.” But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his own character. As the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is reenacted, and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become twelve angry men. |
