ある裁判に判決を下すべく集められた、男女計12人からなる陪審員。判決は全員一致で決めるのが原則で、一同はいったん、被告を無罪にするとまとまりかけるが、サラリーマンである陪審員2号は被告に同情するという理由だけで無罪にすることに異論を唱え、議論を続けるべきだと主張。他の陪審員たちは深く考えることなく無罪に票を投じようとしていたが、陪審員2号が異議を唱えたのを機に12人は被告の殺意を問う議論を始める。

Shun Nakahara directs this comic take on Sidney Lumet's 1957 classic Twelve Angry Men. Just as in that earlier work, this film takes place in a jury room and takes place in real time. The film opens as the jury is about to acquit the defendant -- a bar hostess who pushed her ex-husband path of an oncoming truck, supposedly in self-defense. Just as everyone seems to be in agreement over the woman's innocence, one bespectacled juror (Kazuyuki Aijima) -- no one is given names in this film -- voices second thoughts. Slowly, like an inversion of Henry Fonda's character in the earlier film, he sets about convincing his fellow jurors -- a group of nice folks who don't like thinking ill of people -- that the defendant is in fact a cold-blooded killer.
由一般市民选出来的12个陪审员,互相也不认识,开始审案子,有罪无罪要全体一致通过才行,多数时候会一致说无罪。不过由其中一个人对无罪的根据的质问引起了混乱,有罪的可能性也是存在的,于是一轮一轮的讨论起来,并没有习惯此种议论的“温柔的”这群人,会怎么进行困难的人对人的裁判呢?最终这12人能不能得到一致的结论呢?
