Douze hommes en colère

United States. During the deliberations of a trial, 12 men have the responsibility of judging a young man accused of parricide.
While 11 of the men are convinced he is guilty, one juror expresses doubts.
A unanimous verdict is required.
A life is in their hands. It's acquittal or the electric chair. With palpable tension, we witness a legal drama in which the intelligence, humanity and perseverance of one man will challenge the certainties and prejudices of the other 11 jurors, each of whom is influenced by his or her own personal history. Beyond the issues at stake in the trial, this eminently modern play questions the way in which justice is dispensed, showing the extent to which the ineradicable prejudices and intolerance of some people can decide a man's life.
