12 Angry Men
★ 8.6/10•1957•1h 37m•NR•Drama

It explodes like 12 sticks of dynamite!

The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.
