Movie Synopsis:

With a guilty verdict meaning an automatic death sentence, the case seems straightforward, and most jurors are ready to convict. However, Juror #8 raises questions about the evidence, urging the group to reconsider their assumptions and biases.
As tempers flare and tensions rise, the jurors confront their own prejudices and personal issues, ultimately revealing the complexities of justice and the importance of reasonable doubt.
