A first glimpse at the tense drama 12 Angry Men. The book, by Reginald Rose, was first published in 1954 and he went on to write the first TV screenplay. Henry Fonda was keen to produce and star in it, managing to bring it to the silver screen under the brilliant direction of Sydney Lumet in 1957. It went on to be nominated for 4 Academy awards, I guarantee this classic, powerful movie will not disappoint!
