Twelve angry men is a black and white film about the jury in a court case about a boy who has "murdered" his father. The case requires an unanimous verdict but only eleven of them agree the boy is guilty.

This is a clever, yet slow, film which unpicks the characters of the twelve men who all gradually untangle the case, though some just want to go home. The set is all in one room and this increases the intensity of the story telling and although there is only one set the individual actors make it feel like different places as they act out possible scenarios.
