Synopsis

After sitting through a trial of a young Hispanic man accused of murdering his father, the jurors retire to deliberate the man's fate. All but one vote for conviction. But that lone juror is convinced the evidence is not what it seems, and refuses to go along with the rest for the sake of convenience. Though this classic movie is set in just one room, it is a riveting drama that will have you on the edge of your seat as it makes you realise things are not always what they seem.
