12 Angry Men (1957)

In een benauwde vergaderkamer moeten twaalf vermoeide juryleden besluiten of ze een achttienjarige jongen tot de doodstraf zullen veroordelen. Een kritisch jurylid twijfelt aan de overhaaste beslissing van de elf andere leden. Zo begint Sydney Lumets beklemmende 12 Angry men waar een beheerste Henry Fonda de andere mannen probeert te overtuigen. De film – momenteel te zien in het Filmmuseum – weet op pakkende wijze te tonen hoe moeilijk het is om felle meningen te veranderen.

"12 Angry Men" focuses on a jury's deliberations in a capital murder case. A 12-man jury is sent to begin deliberations in the first-degree murder trial of an 18-year-old Latino accused in the stabbing death of his father, where a guilty verdict means an automatic death sentence. The case appears to be open-and-shut: The defendant has a weak alibi; a knife he claimed to have lost is found at the murder scene; and several witnesses either heard screaming, saw the killing or the boy fleeing the scene. Eleven of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only Juror No. 8 (Mr. Davis) casts a not guilty vote. At first Mr. Davis' bases his vote more so for the sake of discussion after all, the jurors must believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. As the deliberations unfold, the story quickly becomes a study of the jurors' complex personalities (which range from wise, bright and empathetic to arrogant, prejudiced and merciless), preconceptions, backgrounds and interactions. That provides the backdrop to Mr. Davis' attempts in convincing the other jurors that a "not guilty" verdict might be appropriate.
