The film 12 Angry Men is considered one of the best courtroom dramas and one of the best films ever made. The plot is about 12 male jurors of different backgrounds, personalities, and professions who need to decide the fate of a young teenager accused of murdering his father. If found guilty, he will be executed.
The main stars are the fantastic Henry Fonda, who plays juror number 8. Initially, the only juror who chooses to vote the defendant, not guilty after a preliminary vote. Two-time Academy Award-nominee Lee J. Cobb plays juror number 3, the ringleader who argues for the defendant's guilt. Next, we have Academy-Award winner Ed Begley, juror number 10, portrayed as an awful man. Next, we have the longtime successful actor, E.G., Marshall as juror number 4, who is very calm and analytical. The last main character who deserves mention is juror number 7, a baseball fanatic played by Academy Award nominee Jack Warden.
