12 Angry Men
Deliberation room classic
A 1957 American courtroom drama film in which twelve jurors deliberate a murder case, with one holdout gradually persuading the others toward reasonable doubt.
The title has become shorthand for the deliberative process itself—the tension between individual conscience and group pressure: It turned into a real 12 Angry Men situation in that conference room.
