"12 Angry Men", Sidney Lumet, 1957

Law Degree Special 

"12 Angry Men" is considered one of the greatest debut films in the history of the cinema. Directed by Sidney Lumet, who went on to prove himself as a great screenwriter, as well as a cinema theorist, it tells the story of a people’s jury who must deliberate on the conviction or acquittal of a defendant in a murder trial. Guilty or innocent? A young man’s life is hanging on the decision. Everyone believes he is guilty until through Henry Fonda, the main character, reasonable doubt emerges that will change the course of the deliberation. 

A brilliant film at all levels that draws you in from the very start. 

Based on the play written by Reginald Rose, the film won four Academy Award nominations.
