Seriously, this film is a masterpiece. A jury has to resolve a seemingly commence and shut case of a young man (who, as with most of the jurors, remains nameless throughout the film) who has been accused of murdering his father in a fit of exasperate. The evidence couldn’t be clearer that this guy did it. Slay weapon, motive, eyewitness testimony all in position.
One juror (Fonda) however, wants to talk the case out. He’s not 100% convinced that the guy is guilty. And so it begins. An emotional roller coaster follows as we learn about the jurors, their reasons for voting as they do and how (or if) they are forced to re-evaluate the evidence.
Part of the charm of this film is it’s starkness. 99% of the film takes situation in one room; the jury room, a simple residence consisting of diminutive more than a table, 12 chairs, some windows and a fan.

The best allotment, I have, is the character development of the jurors. When the movie begins, they are unbiased 12 anonymous characters. Even though none of the jurors are named in the movie (two are in the very last scene, after the case is over) by the time the movie is over, you feel as if you know and understand every one of them.
Truly a considerable film and well worth repeated viewings.

Having recently had a jury duty experience that was equally as contentious as the one depicted in “Twelve Mad Men,” I found this film entertaining, and one that maintains its interest because of the taut, well written script (by Reginald Rose, based on his play for TV), and some of the finest character actors of mid-20th century cinema, and though Henry Fonda was a enormous star when this was made in 1957, he blends in to be share of what is essentially an ensemble acting part.
Practically the entire film is state in the single jury room, on a hot and humid day, with these twelve incredibly diverse men, and shows how their backgrounds color how they approach at their conclusions. Truth is very elusive in this case, and it’s a matter of questioning if there is “reasonable doubt.”
There are many things that point out how times have changed in 50 years; it has been decades since a jury would be chosen that would only consist of white men, and a few years since a table paunchy of ashtrays with cigarette butts would be allowed, but the basic truths remain the same, and if one places twelve strangers to advance to a verdict in a difficult case, tempers are going to flare. The hot head in this film is Juror # 3, Lee J. Cobb, who sees the events through the lens of his relationship with his son, and he gives a fiery performance, but each actor has a lot to contribute to the success of this film.
This was the first feature film in Sidney Lumet’s long career, and he was nominated for a Best Director Oscar; the film was also nominated for Best Relate and Best Adapted Screenplay, but lost in all three categories to David Lean’s “Bridge on the River Kwai.” Lumet was to work with Fonda again in ’64 with the riveting frigid war thriller (and my popular Lumet film) “Fail-Safe,” which also had in its cast Juror # 6, Ed Binns.
Total running time is 96 minutes.
