Description

A hot, muggy New York City... Twelve white-male jurors try to reach a verdict in a murder trial--a case involving a Puerto Rican teenager from the slums who is accused of knifing his father to death. Eleven jurors agree that the defendant is guilty...but one man, believing the boy is innocent, sets out to convince the other jurors he's right by building a case for acquittal. Based on a television play by Reginald Rose.

    Unlike some of the previous comments, I don't personally think you have to be older to enjoy a movie like this one. I watched it a year ago when I was eleven and it was gripping, philosophical , and intriguing. I would highly recommend this film.

  • Great film

    When something doesn't sit right, speak up it may just matter. This is a bookmark in film making, also watch it if you are in law school.

    Simply one of the best movies ever. It's a classic. For the younger people, it's perhaps one to watch when you grow up and can appreciate a fine film without relying on explosions and mult-million $ SFX and CGI.

    A must see film , moral dilemas and social perceptions, rife with unjust theories and debates that really are written with amazing insight into our judgemntal theories.... Excellent film.

    Easy this one. Just a brilliant movie in every sense of the word. Can't think how many times I've seen this film, but it still grips me to the very end. Henry Fonda is superb as the evryday man hero and Lee J. Cobb as the stubborn racist who fights with his own ignorence at every turn is just brilliant. Definitely one of 1001 movies you should see before you die.
