I first had to watch this movie for school, but it quickly became one of my favorite movies of all time.   Great cast, led by Henry Fonda, Lee J Cobb, Martin Balsam, Jack Klugman, Edward Bimms, Ed Begley, E G Marshall, Jack Warden....  It tells the story of a jury who must decide a young man's fate.  The young man is accused of murdering his father, an abusive bully, and the evidence seems to be overwhelming.  They take the initial vote and it is 11 to 1 to convict.  The lone hold out is Fonda, who votes not guilty, not because he thinks the young man is innocent, because he wants to sure before rushing to judgment.  Over the course of the deliberations, more and more flaws with the evidence appear.  Not that the evidence shows that the young man is innocent, but that there might be a reasonable doubt.  There are major tensions of racism, elitism and family dynamics.  The one thing that I enjoyed is that there was no animosity between characters after they reached a verdict.  They all seemed to understand that each one was doing their job as they thought best.  I cannot recommend this film highly enough.

I absolutely love this movie!! Whenever it comes on TV, I am in front of the TV screen until it goes off- not moving an inch- not even between commercials!
