2 jurors gather in a courtroom to decide if an 18-year-old boy is guilty or innocent of stabbing his father to death

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2017)

12 Angry Men beautifully exemplifies the art of negotiation. In this movie, 12 jurors gather in a courtroom to decide if an 18-year-old boy is guilty or innocent of stabbing his father to death. While eleven of the jurors initially concurred that he was guilty, Juror 8 maintains his stand that there is reasonable doubt surrounding the whole case. Subsequently, in the main plot of the movie, Juror 8 masterfully demonstrates the art of negotiation by convincing the other jurors - some of whom are hot-headed and impatient - how it would be inaccurate to simply conclude that the boy is guilty.
