I watched this movie in school (in the span of three days)
One of the best movies I have ever seen! (I really like crime shows and court movies and stuff) And this was excellent as well. An old movie (1957) and black and white. We watched it for my Christian Justice class.
It's basically about 12 jurors trying to decide "guilty" or "not guilty" to a murder case. If they vote guilty, the murderer gets the death penalty
