’12 Angry Men’ Plot Synopsis
12 Angry Men is a behind-closed-doors look at the American legal system that is as riveting as it is spare. One member on a jury of white men dissents as they get ready to pass judgment on a Puerto Rican teenager charged with murdering his father. The result is a saga of epic proportions that plays out over a tense afternoon in one sweltering room as that juror tries to convince the others of the young man’s innocence.

I do hope you review bridge on the river Kwai, deserves all its accolades imo.
Patrick may have this one on his top 100. It’s a good film, but not quite in my top list.
Are there any more Sidney Lumet reviews in the future? Dog Day Afternoon is one of my favorites.
Anatomy of a Murder is another great courtroom drama, wonder if it made anyone’s top 100.
It’d most likely be Matt or Patrick since they are the legal guys. I am not big on the courtroom dramas myself.
