An aggressively focused law drama where the case itself is secondary to the jurors trying to decide it's fate. A fascinating look at human psychology, reasoning and pressure.

About
The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or innocent of murdering his father. What begins as an open and shut case soon becomes a mini-drama of each of the jurors' prejudices and preconceptions about the trial, the accused, and each other.
The Popcorn verdict
12 Angry Men is rated 9.2 out of 10 by 84 Popcorn members, each of whom rated it after watching. That is well above its 8.6 on TMDB — Popcorn members like it more than the wider internet does.
