Great Drama

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2008)

This is absolutely great drama. Even if you are not a fan of black and white movies, this is one movie that will keep you mesmerized. Henry Fonda leads an all-star cast that really delivers! The story is about 12 jury members, who meet on a hot sultry afternoon to debate the verdict on a young boy, who is destined for the electric chair if the Guilty verdict is upheld. How each of the jury members fights his own perceptions, biases and prejudices and ultimately decides on the correct verdict forms the crux of the story. I remember seeing this movie for the first time when I was 15 years old. Now, 25 years later, this DVD forms the pride of my collection. The movie has not aged one bit. Don't miss this one.
