Description

Brooding dialogue, clean camera work, and twelve ace actors create a raw character-driven drama filled with high emotions and clashing personalities. Henry Fonda heads a top-notch company of jurors who must decide the fate of a teenage boy accused of murdering his father. Placed in one room for almost the entirety of the film and unfolding in realtime, this riveting socially-conscious masterwork showed the power of convictions and the importance of standing up for justice--against all odds.
