Refine 12 Angry Men 4KUHD 4K UHD

Following the conclusion of the closing arguments in a murder trial, a jury of twelve must deliberate, with a guilty verdict meaning death for the accused, a young inner-city teenager. As the dozen men are sequestered in a solitary, sweltering room, attempting to reach a unanimous decision, one juror (Henry Fonda, The Ox-Bow Incident) casts considerable doubt on elements of the case. Personal issues soon arise, and conflict threatens to derail the delicate process that will decide the fate of the young defendant.

In addition to Fonda (who also co-produced with writer Reginald Rose), the cast includes Lee J. Cobb as his main opposition, Ed Begley as a hateful bigot, E.G. Marshall as a cold, logical stockbroker, Jack Warden as a baseball fanatic, and Jack Klugman as the disturbed blood-brother to the defendant. The feature directing debut of Sidney Lumet (Serpico, The Verdict), 12 Angry Men remains "one of the best pictures ever made" (The Hollywood Reporter), a searing examination of race, justice, family, and morality.

The newly released 4K UHD version of the film features a brand new HDR/Dolby Vision master, derived from a new 4K scan of the original camera negative, along with a new audio commentary by film historian and screenwriter Gary Gerani, as well as a previously recorded commentary by film historian Drew Casper. The triple-layered UHD100 disc also includes optional English subtitles.

The accompanying Blu-ray disc includes the 1997 film adaptation of 12 Angry Men, directed by William Friedkin and starring Jack Lemmon, as well as two featurettes: "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt: Making of 12 Angry Men" and "Inside the Jury Room." The dual-layered BD50 disc also features the original theatrical trailer and optional English subtitles.

This comprehensive set offers a definitive exploration of one of the most acclaimed and influential films in cinematic history, cementing its legacy as a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate and challenge audiences to this day.
