12 angry men
12 Angry Men The 1957 courtroom drama, 12 Angry Men was quite possibly the most tense drama I have ever seen. Under the direction of Sidney Lumet, this film explored the predispositions of men and the good and bad that emerges when they are put together in a small, extremely warm jury room to decide a teenage boys fate. ... These white men range from working class to middle class to upper class. ... All of the men believe themselves to be impartial, yet each has an underlying force that influences their decision. ... So begins the battle between the twelve men as Fonda tries to convince the other men to think about the verdict more carefully.
