If you’re looking for the most engrossing movie ever made that takes place almost entirely in a jury room, check out Sidney Lumet’s 1957 classic, 12 Angry Men. It’s the story of jury deliberations in the case of a young man accused of murdering his father. What you end up getting is a clash of powerful personalities between some great actors in an examination of “reasonable doubt.” Check out the trailer, then check out the DVD from our collection.
