Summary
Tempers rise as a jury of middle-aged men find themselves unable to sway a single member of their group to the majority opinion. Confronted with a seemingly clear-cut case, bolstered by opinions and assumptions, but with no verdict in sight the group threatens to become deadlocked. Will the 12th juror, stubbornly convinced of a young defendant's innocence, be able to sway the entire group to his viewpoint, or will the group ultimately force the holdout to forgo his concerns, potentially ignoring truth in a rush to judgment?
Awards note
Named to the National Film Registry in 2007 by the Library of Congress ; Winner, Best Written American Drama (Reginal Rose), 1958 Writers Guild of America Awards.
