The film, 12 Angry Men (1957), is a drama about a jury that was to decide the fate of a teenaged boy who was facing the electric chair for supposedly killing his father with a switchblade knife. The twelve men were locked into a small, claustrophobic jury room on an unbearably hot summer day until they came up with a unanimous decision - either guilty or not guilty. Over the course of the film the votes went from eleven guilty and one not, to a unanimous vote of ‘not guilty’.

Also, he explains his doubt about the old man's testimony about going to his front door and seeing the boy running down the stairs. He does this by acting out how long it would actually take for the old man to get to his front door. Finally, Juror eight establishes that it is possible that the boy told the truth about the switch knife, by purchasing and bringing in an exact replica of the knife in question.

Juror ten tries to persuade the other jurors to vote guilty because of his racist views, etc. Pathos, ethos, and logos can be seen through the story. For example, juror eight uses ethos when he tries to explain to juror ten that the old man could not have heard the boy say “Iâ
