Plot Synopsis

Remake of the 1957 feature. Having been charged by the judge to deliver a verdict, 12 men retire to the jury room in New York. It seems to be an open-and-shut case of an inner-city boy accused of murdering his father-- but for one juror, an architect, who believes the youth to be innocent on grounds of ''reasonable doubt''. Thus begins a running war of words and actions that will uncover prejudices and personal agendas that will ultimately decide the fate of the young offender.
