When a Chechen youth is put on trial for the murder of his stepfather, it's up to a room full of jurors divided by racism and prejudice to determine the boy's ultimate fate. One by one, each man takes center stage to confront, connect and confess while the accused awaits a verdict. Slowly the tide of opinion turns, as the jurors begin to realize their decision will forever change the course of another person's life. As they deliberate, the accused revisits his heartbreaking journey through war in a series of powerful flashbacks. Director NIKITA MIKHALKOV'S Oscar®-nominated remake of 12 Angry Men is a brilliant look at fear, trust and the triumph of human nature. © 2007, 2008 Three T Productions. All Rights Reserved.
