12 angry men

Today, I watched a movie called "12 Angry Men" with Henry Fonda. 12 Angry Men has no car chases or spectacular special effects, just great drama and acting. After a trial, 12 men in a jury room decide the fate of a young man accused of murdering his father.11 of the jurors vote in favor of guilt, but the character played by Henry Fonda isn't so sure. Fonda challenges the other Jurors to examine the evidence more closely. Eventually, cracks appear in the evidence and votes change in favor of innocence. Eventually, there is only one holdout ( Lee J. Cobb) who still favors guilt. In my opinion, Mr. Cobb should have received an Academy Award for his acting in the final scenes of the film.
