Twelve jurors are confined to a deliberation room during a sweltering summer, tasked with deciding the guilt or innocence of a young man accused of murder. Initially appearing as a straightforward case, the proceedings take a dramatic turn as one dissenting juror begins to challenge the evidence. The intense narrative explores the complexities of justice and human nature as each juror confronts their own biases and the dynamics of group decision-making.
