Twelve Angry Men/Die zwölf Geschworenen | with lecture by Prof. Dr. Klaus Günther (jurist)

USA 1957 | Director: Sidney Lumet | Running time: 96 minutes

Twelve jurors with profoundly different personalities and backgrounds must decide the fate of a juvenile defendant in a criminal trial. While most of the jurors want to convict the defendant quickly, one of them advocates a careful examination of the evidence and begins to express doubts about the defendant’s guilt. This sets off an intense debate about false assumptions, prejudice, morality and the law.
