12 Angry Men 1957

The jury in a New York City murder trial is frustrated by a single member whose skeptical caution forces them to more carefully consider the evidence before jumping to a hasty verdict.

A teenager's life hangs in the balance as twelve jurors gather in a stifling deliberation room to decide his fate. Their verdict seems obvious until one juror refuses to sign off on a quick conviction. As the hours tick by, his quiet persistence turns a rushed decision into a fierce battle of conscience, prejudice, and reasonable doubt.
