The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter the trial, twelve strangers gather behind a locked door and make small talk about the case, baseball, business, and where to sit. Their jokes and impatience make the room feel casual, but they also expose sharply different attitudes toward the defendant and the duty ahead. This opening scene matters because first impressions begin shaping the jury before deliberation truly starts.
