“12 Angry Men is a 1957 American courtroom drama film directed by Sidney Lumet , adapted from a 1954 teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose . The film tells the story of a jury of 12 men as they deliberate the conviction or acquittal of a teenager charged with murder on the basis of reasonable doubt ; disagreement and conflict among them force the jurors to question their morals and values. It stars Henry Fonda (who also produced the film with Reginald Rose), Lee J. Cobb , Ed Begley , E. G. Marshall and Jack Warden .
“12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus-building and the difficulties encountered in the process among this group of men whose range of personalities adds to the intensity and conflict. The jury members are identified only by number; no names are revealed until an exchange of dialogue at the very end. The film forces the audience to evaluate their own self-image through observing the personalities, experiences and actions of the jurors. The film is also notable for its almost exclusive use of one set, where all but three minutes of the film takes place.
“12 Angry Men received acclaim from critics, despite a lukewarm box office performance. At the 30th Academy Awards , it was nominated for Best Picture , Best Director and Best Screenplay . It is regarded by many as one of the greatest films ever made . In 2007, it was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
