When a young boy accused of stabbing his father, 12 jurors are chosen to decide if he's guilty or innocent. If he's proven guilty, he'll get a death penalty. Every single evidence happens to point that this boy is guilty. So, the jurors decide that he's guilty and call it a day. But, one man stands up to the other 11 jurors stating that he's innocent. And they can  not penalize the boy unless all 12 jurors agree that he's guilty. This is a fight of a man against 11 others to save a boy's life.

12 Angry Man is a classic movie that I watched recently. Despite it being released in 1957, the storyline is very engaging and every character stands out and have  really strong backgrounds. Even if it's still in black and white, it can definitely beat newer movies with better technology. I don't know who the actors are, but each one of them can bring out the characters' personalities really well. The entire movie takes place in the jury room. I don't know how the movie maker did it, but they really shoot the entire movie in just one single room and it turns out great. This is what current movie makers need to learn. It's old but gold.
