12 Angry Men

I should say this movies is one of the best i have seen in recent times, i heard lot about this movie and most of things said were true.  This movie is an example of how to make a classic movie with a simple story.The tagline "Life Is In Their Hands -- Death Is On Their Minds!" says it all.
 I have never seen any Henry Fonda's movie before, but after watching this movie i planned to watch all his movies, a great actor.This movie is about 12 men who have given the task of finding whether the convicted man is guilty or not guilty, they were put together in a room and was closed, so no one could go out until they come to a unanimous decision.
Hendry Fonda was the only one who voted 'not guilty', he wanted them to talk and propose theories and possibilities of the chain event that happened during the murder of a man.He slowly convinces every one that the convited man was not guilty by reasonable doubt.There was a talk about race and angry father's tale of neglected love.One of the highlight of this movie was that there was no female characters in this.


Directed by Sydney Lumet and story by Reginald Rose.

In 2007, 12 Angry Men was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".The film was nominated for Academy Awards in the categories of Best Director, Best Picture, and Best Writing of Adapted Screenplay.
