Directed by William Friedkin • 1997 • United States
Starring James Gandolfini, Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott

William Friedkin’s remake of the 1957 Sidney Lumet/Henry Fonda classic brings together a powerhouse ensemble cast that includes Jack Lemmon, George C. Scott, Ossie Davis, Edward James Olmos, and James Gandolfini for a riveting update of this timeless tale of justice and dissent. In a sweltering New York City courthouse, the members of a twelve-man jury convene to decide the fate of a young Latino man accused of murdering his father. While nearly all are convinced of his guilt, one holdout (Lemmon) takes a stand that forces them all to reexamine both the case and themselves.
