Sidney Lumet’s feature film debut is a superb courtroom thriller that stands the test of time. Following the closing arguments in a murder trial, 12 members of the jury must deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused. Henry Fonda plays the lone dissenting voice who casts doubt on the case. 12 ANGRY MEN is a pitch-perfect examination of societal prejudices and conformity at a time when that was rare in Hollywood. Also starring Lee J. Cobb, Martin Balsam, and E.G. Marshall.
