I’ve been wanting to watch this for a long time. Peter Fonda plays the lone dissenter in a jury who convinces everyone else of his position. It’s far-fetched as a story, but a very good setup for examining the ways people judge others. All the characters are played really well, making a movie that takes place entirely in one room riveting and suspenseful.

Great movie! One of my favorites about how interpersonal interaction and power, give and take and how we as individuals can function in the face of strong dissagreement. Another good oldie for power relationship exposition is A Bridge Over River Kwai
That’s one I’ve meant to watch. Onto the queue with it!
