Twelve jurors hold the life of an 18-year-old man accused of murder in their hands. Henry Fonda plays the dissenting Juror 8 who forces the remaining jurors to question their positions and catalyses an explosive series of deliberations.
Adapted from the teleplay by Reginald Rose, Sidney Lumet’s feature directorial debut has long been considered a classic and one of the most compelling courtroom dramas in cinema history.
‘A penetrating, sensitive, and sometimes shocking dissection of the hearts and minds of men who obviously are something less than gods’ – The New York Times
