Plot
In a jury room, jurors deliberate on the guilt or innocence of a bar hostess accused of pushing her ex-husband into the path of an oncoming truck. Most of the jurors are nice folks unwilling to believe a women could do such an evil act. Juror #2, (Kazuyuki Aijima), then takes the initiative to convince his peers otherwise.
Notes
- Movie is a parody of Sidney Lumet's 1957 film "Twelve Angry Men".
- Although the entire movie takes place in a single jury room, in reality, Japan does not have a jury system.
