## Description

Sideny Lumet's unparalleled trial drama starring Henry Fonda. 12 Angry Men, by Sideny Lumet (Network), may be the most radical big-screen courtroom drama in cinema history. A behind-closed-doors look at the American legal system as riveting as it is spare, the iconic adaptation of Reginald Rose’s teleplay stars Henry Fonda (Young Mr. Lincoln) as the initially dissenting foreman on a jury of white men ready to pass judgment on a Puerto Rican teenager charged with murdering his father. What results is a saga of epic proportions that plays out in real time over ninety minutes in one sweltering room. Lumet’s electrifying snapshot of 1950s America on the verge of change is one of the great feature-film debuts.

Review: A profoundly entertaining legal drama. - In 2008, the American Film Institute (AFI) unveiled its list of Top 10 'Courtroom Dramas'. First on the list was 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (1962) and in second place was '12 Angry Men' (1957). In my humble opinion, I think that '12 Angry Men' should have topped the chart because it is not only profound but entertaining too. The film was praised by critics but was only a lukewarm success at the box office. At the 30th Academy Awards, it was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay (Reginald Rose). Amazingly, this was Sidney Lumet's directorial debut and it announced the arrival of a major talent. Lumet would later go on to direct such classics as ''The Pawnbroker' (1964), 'The Hill' (1965), 'Serpico' (1973), 'Dog Day Afternoon' (1975), and 'Network' (1976). '12 Angry Men' features an ensemble cast of great actors, including Henry Fonda (Juror No 8), Martin Balsam (Juror No 1), and Lee J. Cobb (Juror No 3) to name just three of the amazing twelve. I consider the film an epic, even though its 96 mins runtime takes place in a hot and sticky jury room, where the 12 jurors must decide on the evidence they have whether an 18-year-old "slum kid" is guilty of stabbing his father to death or not. A guilty verdict would yield a mandatory death sentence. Yes, the stakes are high. 11 of the jurors believe that the boy is guilty but Juror No 8 (Henry Fonda) believes that there is room for reasonable doubt and they all need to talk and discuss the case from a number of angles before deciding the kid is guilty. Of course, the other 11 don't take too kindly to this as they don't want to hang around, with one juror expressing anxiety that he might miss the Yankees game later that evening. Juror No 8 is left with the almost impossible task of trying to bring the other 11 around to making a reasonable and informed decision. No easy task as the 11 are certain that the boy is guilty and needs to be executed for murdering his father in cold blood. Things get quite personal at times, with jurors throwing insults at each other and there are occasions when it looks like some of them will come to blows. Professor of Law Emeritus at UCLA School of Law Michael Asimow referred to the film as a "tribute to a common man holding out against lynch mob mentality", while Gavin Smith of Film Comment called the film "a definitive rebuttal to the lynch mob hysteria of the McCarthy era". '12 Angry Men' is a comment on American democracy that was under threat at the time by the McCarthy crackdown. What the film is attempting to highlight is how, in a perfect world, a world without political repression, democracy should really work. The film postulates a simple premise, one that suggests that a true democracy values different opinions and these opinions should all be considered when trying to hammer out a reasonable compromise. After watching this film, you will be inspired and satisfied that the jurors in this particular case have done their job well, but you may also worry that sometimes jurors don't take their responsibilities this seriously and as a consequence the innocent end up going to jail or worse still facing the death penalty. Speaking at a screening of the film during the 2010 Fordham University School of Law Film Festival, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor stated that seeing '12 Angry Men' while she was in college influenced her decision to pursue a career in law. After watching this brilliant legal drama you, too, may want to do the same thing.
