Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJack Lemmon was nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance, and lost to Ving Rhames. Upon winning, however, Rhames asked Lemmon to join him on stage and presented the award to him. Lemmon declared that the moment was "one of the sweetest in my life."
- GoofsIn the original 1957 script, the defense attorney is referred to several times as 'he'. In the 1997 script, the defense attorney is again referred to as 'he', but, in the opening scene of the 1997 version, the defense attorney who is sitting next to the defendant is a woman. The trial itself isn't shown, so it's possible they may have been talking about an additional male member of the defense that we didn't see in the film.
- Alternate versionsThe 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, in addition to adding the extra opening Kino Lorber logo, plaster the MGM logo and closing MGM Television logos with the 2012 variants.

Featured review
That's what this is and is very well done.
Great performances all around.
The dialogs and conflicts between the 12 men discussing the verdict after the trial of a man are loaded with a lot of social conflict, hate, prejudgement, racism and classism.
Your blood will boil watching men treating others in ways that you probably had the misfortune of witnessing in your life.
Injustice is everyday news in this world we're living in, but there's always someone who fights, someone who thinks on his own, who believes there's more to it than the first thing it's been told.
This is an homage to those people, and it serves to keep us alert on thinking twice before judging anything or anyone, and to fight ignorance to finally be able to live in peace with each other and with ourselves.
