12 Angry Men is such a simple concept, masterfully executed by Director Sidney Lumet.
12 Jurors must vote unanimously to decide whether or not a young man is guilty of murdering his father. The film is set into motion when all but 1 of the 12 jurors vote guilty.
Juror No.8 (Henry Fonda) makes the case that the young man on trial could be guilty however he wants to consider the case a little more before deciding to vote and ultimately deciding the fate of the accused. As tensions start to run high Juror No. 8 faces an uphill battle to convince the other 11 jurors there may perhaps be more than meets the eye.
When I was watching it for the first time I felt like I was Juror No.13, constantly on the edge of my seat awaiting the next big revelation.
On a promotional piece for the film it says "IT EXPLODES LIKE 12 STICKS OF DYNAMITE!". I couldn't agree more. 12 Angry Men is a riveting, powerful and uplifting experience that's message is still relevant today.
Without a doubt it will always be one of my favorite movies of all time.
What are you waiting for? Go watch it ;)
