Angry Men has a simple premise, but the resolution to the courtroom drama is far more complicated than it seems on the surface.

Twelve jurors decide whether a child is guilty of murder in the 1957 movie 12 Angry Men. Most of the jurors first think he is guilty. However, Juror 8 thinks there is room for doubt.

Sidney Lumets 1957 masterpiece, 12 Angry Men, is still as relevant as ever. Reginald Rose concocted a script so perfect it feels like the backbone for not only cinema, but modern stage plays as well.
