12 Angry Men is a 1957 American drama film adapted from a teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose. Directed by Sidney Lumet, the film tells the story of a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt. In the United States (both then and now), the verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous one way or the other. The film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set: with the exception of the film's opening, which begins outside on the steps of the courthouse and ends with the jury's final instructions before retiring, a brief final scene on the courthouse steps and two short scenes in an adjoining washroom, the entire movie takes place in the jury room. The total time spent outside of the jury room is three minutes out of the full 96 minutes of the movie.
12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus-building, and the difficulties encountered in the process, among a group of men whose range of personalities adds intensity and conflict. Apart from two of the jurors swapping names while leaving the courthouse, no names are used in the film: the defendant is referred to as "the boy" and the witnesses as the "old man" and "the lady across the street".
In 2007, 12 Angry Men was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

This is classic filmmaking at its best. Just acting & dialogue, without any action scenes at all. Not to mention the use of just 1 set in almost the entire movie.

We did the play in school. I was Juror #3. I have to say I really like it, but in our play #3 (me) conceded defeat wrathfully. Like a "Fine!" type of thing. And then in the end, they file out and #3 almost stabs #8 with a switchblade (again), then hands it to him handle first.
And #7 was wanting to go to a play(?), the Seven-Year Itch, of which there was a mention because of his impatience.

You would think that, but no. It is their job to find a suspect. This is why you have the right to remain silent, because anything you say can and will be used against you. They have to prove someone is guilty, if they fail the default is innocent.

Young man, the prejudice today is just as great, if not greater, than it was back then. You are correct, however, in saying that the average person has never been a critical thinker. The point is, though, that what is "average" does vary from time to time, and society can always be better or worse.

If you rarely venture under the 2000s, you're missing most of the good movies that have been made. Try "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," "Captains Courageous" and "The Stranger" for starters.
