"Twelve Angry Jurors" begins following the closing arguments in the murder trial of a 19-year-old man accused of fatally stabbing his father. The 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room to deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused. It looks like an open-and-shut case until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. Based on the Emmy Award-winning TV show, "Twelve Angry Men," the drama offers a microcosm of society that mirrors the conflicts, beliefs and compassion of humanity.
