It is not about solving the crime. It is about sending a young man to die.
12 Angry Jurors is as meticulous as the summation of an Agatha Christie thriller.
12 ANGRY JURORS by Reginald Rose. Directed by Stacy Dumont and Produced by Judy Brewster and Christopher Moser.
A 16-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case -- until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place -- and decide on the guilt or innocence of a man; of a man we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and they become 12 angry jurors. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it will electrify the audience and keep them on the edge of their seats.
