Adapted from Reginald Rose's television play, this film marked the
directing debut of Sidney Lumet. At the end of a murder trial in
New York City, the twelve jurors retire to consider the verdict.
The man in the dock is a young Puerto Rican accused of killing his
father, and eleven of the twelve jurors do not hesitate in finding
him guilty. However, one of the jurors (Henry Fonda), reluctant to
send the youngster to his death without any debate, returns a vote
of not guilty. From this single event, the jurors begin to
re-evaluate the case, as they look at the murder - and themselves -
in a fresh light.

This movie is really something else and if you have the patience for a single-room setting with just men and an insanely interesting build up of events - will definitely recommend this.
