On the other hand, it didn't do very well at the box office, since color films were just starting to come out, and people were less tempted to see an old fashioned-looking black and white flick like 12 Angry Men. ![]() Released in 1957, 12 Angry Men was nominated for three Academy Awards and got a pretty decent response from critics. Oh, yeah, and along the way, he restores our faith in democracy and human goodness. ![]() It's not easy, but over time, Juror #8 uses all his smarts and moral arguments to convince these other jurors to change their minds. ![]() Juror #8 wants to do everything he can to help the kid on trial for murder, and he stands up against all the other jurors who are convinced that the kid is guilty.
