There is a boy on trial for allegedly stabbing his father. There are a number of testimonies against him, and his alibi is faulty. A unanimous guilty verdict by the jury will reserve him a spot in the electric chair, and his chances of being proven innocent seem little to none.

Juror 11 is a refugee from Europe. He is a watchmaker who speaks politely and deeply appreciates his democratic rights and freedoms and has no tolerance for those that don’t.

Twelve Angry Men, a play by Reginald Rose, was written in 1955 at a time when America was involved in a cold war with communist countries. It shows the strength of a deliberative process that enables individuals, who have “nothing to gain or lose,” to reach a verdict.
