Why12 Angry MenWas Nominated For 3 Oscars!
The plot had a very simple story at the heart of the film. When an eighteen-year-old Latino is accused of stabbing his father to death, 12 jurors sit down for a decision. When 11 of them instantly vote“guilty”,Juror #8 (Henry Fonda) states that they need to think this through before putting an innocent man in jail.
With each passing moment, the jury room heats up while Fonda examines minute details. Minute by minute, Fonda convinces the rest of the jury members that the eighteen-year-old is innocent. The film ends with Juror #8 and Juror #9 (Joseph Sweeney) revealing their last names to each other before departing for good.
