Synopsis: 

12 Angry Jurors tells the story of 12 jurors charged with the unenviable task of deciding a young man’s fate. Accused of brutally murdering his father, the young man’s life hangs in the balance as a jury of his peers battle prejudice and their own morality in a cramped, overheated deliberation room. As the evidence is re-examined, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to truly question if there is in fact some measure of "reasonable doubt". Tempers flare as the reality of a death sentence weighs on the minds of these 12 strangers. Guilty or not guilty. Life or death. Each juror must vote.
