The movie is adapted from a play of the same name written by Reginald Rose, directed by Sidney Lumet, starred Henry Fonda.
Two words I came out after watching the movie is reasonable doubt. At the beginning of the play, 12 jurors polled at 11 guilty to 1 not guilty, and as the play progressed, juror 8 (the sole dissenter) played by Henry Fonda threw questions on the facts that seemed non-refutable, and as the other jurors who want to get done with verdict and get out of hot room argued with him, we as audience started to have doubts on those facts, just the same as the other 11 jurors.
The movie showed American judicial system and how the system encouraged reasonable doubt through jurors.
