12 Angry Men is the cinematic adaptation of Reginald Rose’s 1954
television play 12 Angry Men, and Sidney Lumet’s feature-length
debut. The plot follows the deliberation process of the 12 jurors
who have been tasked with deciding the fate of a boy accused of
murdering his father.

The film centers not on the trial but on the discussion and the stories of those who have been given the ultimate power. Particularly interesting are the visual dynamics as the story progresses – Lumet shot the movie in thirds: above, at, and below eye level,
shifting the literal and figurative position of the audience as the
day wears on and heat rises.

Although it was a box office flop in its day, 12 Angry Men has come to be highly acclaimed cinema appreciated across the years.
