1 12 Angry Men (1957) ★ 9.0 IMDb Released Apr 10, 1957 A dissenting member of the jury asks eleven others to go back over evidence they thought they understood. Almost all the action stays with the deliberation. Watch this 1957 version for the way a small change in how an object is handled can reopen a much larger argument. 0 2 Juror #2 (2024) ★ 7.0 IMDb Released Oct 30, 2024 A juror in a murder trial realizes information from his own life may change how the room judges the case. The drama comes from the different consequences of speaking up, quietly voting with the others, or trying to influence people whose choices he alone cannot control. 0 3 Runaway Jury (2003) ★ 7.1 IMDb Released Oct 17, 2003 A high-stakes civil case draws a consultant who treats jury selection as a contest he can control. Follow what he tries to learn about prospective jurors, then what happens when someone inside the room has plans of their own. 0 4 Juror 8 (2019) ★ 7.3 IMDb Released May 15, 2019 An unusual panel helps decide a case as South Korea starts using lay jurors in criminal trials in this fictionalized 2008 setting. A prospective juror keeps asking for a closer look at pieces his colleagues would rather take as settled. 0 5 12 Angry Men (1997) ★ 7.8 IMDb Released Aug 17, 1997 This 1997 television film retells the same jury-room premise, with Jack Lemmon as the dissenter and George C. Scott as one of the people he must persuade. Look for the differences in performance and in who the story lets carry authority. 0 6 We the Jury (1996) ★ 6.3 IMDb Released Oct 16, 1996 This 1996 television film starts with a shooting the defendant acknowledges, then follows jurors who disagree over what that act amounts to. Pick it for a deliberation in which everyone can accept the same event and still bring different assumptions to culpability. 0 7 The Juror (1996) ★ 5.8 IMDb Released Feb 2, 1996 A woman selected for a trial becomes the target of a man who expects her to influence the rest of the panel. Pick this if you want the thriller to go home with a member of the jury and show what getting the verdict somebody wants would cost her. 0 8 Trial by Jury (1994) ★ 5.5 IMDb Released Sep 9, 1994 An ordinary juror in a mob trial faces pressure to vote a particular way. The story follows her life away from court, so private threats give the later jury-room exchanges much of their meaning. 0 9 Suspect (1987) ★ 6.6 IMDb Released Oct 23, 1987 A public defender and one juror begin doing work together that puts the trial’s safeguards at risk. Watch for the tension between getting new information and what a juror is supposed to do with evidence presented in court. 0 10 The Gentle 12 (1991) ★ 7.1 IMDb Released Dec 14, 1991 Twelve people meet to deliberate in this Japanese comedy from 1991. The lone holdout wants to reopen an apparent consensus, and the other jurors have to decide whether their instinct to be accommodating helps them do their job. Watch it alongside the 1957 film to see how the same setup can turn… 0
