SIDNEY LUMET'S UNPARALLELED TRIAL DRAMA STARRING HENRY FONDA
ONE OF THE TEN MOST POPULAR FILMS OF ALL TIME, ACCORDING TO IMDB.COM!
12 Angry Men, by SIDNEY LUMET (Network), may be the most radical big-screen courtroom drama in cinema history. A behind-closed-doors look at the American legal system as riveting as it is spare, the iconic adaptation of Reginald Rose's teleplay stars HENRY FONDA (Young Mr. Lincoln) as the initially dissenting foreman on a jury of white men ready to pass judgment on a Puerto Rican teenager charged with murdering his father. What results is a saga of epic proportions that plays out in real time over ninety minutes in one sweltering room. Lumet's electrifying snapshot of 1950s America on the verge of change is one of the great feature-film debuts.

A Masterpiece
I love 12 Angry Men. The flick is almost 65 years old and still holds up. This my first purchase from the Criterion Collection, and I couldn’t be happier with the product. Zavvi delivered it promptly as always.

12 Angry Men
what can I say about this movie? I is without doubt one of the greatest movies ever made, the story of how 1 man in a jury of 12 fought against the others to prove that the young man on trail may be not guilty of the crime he is charged with. A cast of fantastic actors including, Henry Fonda, Lee J Cobb and a young Jack Klugman (Quincey) give top rate performances. An intriguing and flawless plot make this a watch movie that should be in every movie lovers top tens.
