*****
Tense, exciting, and ultimately moving legal drama that takes place almost entirely in a jury room, where twelve men must decide the fate of a young man from the slums accused of killing his father; at first, only one man (Henry Fonda) believes the kid may not be guilty, but can he convince the others? Excellent script, superbly acted, full of animosity, prejudice, and reason as the jurors kick around the evidence and each other. Fabulous cast includes Lee J. Cobb, E. G. Marshall, Jack Klugman, Martin Balsam, and others. Powerful ending.
