12 Angry Men
Sidney Lumet, USA 1957
RESTORED: Twelve jurors judge guilt or innocence, freedom or the death penalty. Sidney Lumet's brilliant debut is one of the great classics of film history.
After six days of proceedings, the trial of a young Puerto Rican accused of murdering his father and facing execution by electric chair comes to an end. The twelve jurors retire and must now reach a unanimous verdict. For eleven of them, the case is clear, only juror no. 8 (Henry Fonda) has doubts about the guilt of the accused. A heated discussion ensues, and slowly other jury members are no longer quite sure either.
In his first film, Lumet stages a thrilling chamber play about the heart of the American justice system: the jury. The camera circles around the great acting ensemble in its search for the truth. Set during the McCarthy era, when the US justice system, and with it American democracy, was shaken to its foundations, the film is a passionate appeal for civil courage and justice.
- We are showing the new 4K restoration of the film, which was created from the original camera negative.
