Reginald Rose is a Scriptwriter and Producer American born on 10 december 1920 at New York City (USA)
Reginald Rose, né à Manhattan, New York, le 10 décembre 1920 et mort le 19 avril 2002 à Norwalk, au Connecticut, est un écrivain, dramaturge et scénariste américain.
Après le conflit, il travaille comme scénariste de film, puis comme scripteur lors des deux premières décennies de la télévision américaine. Son écriture se singularise par le traitement tout en finesse qu'il imprime à l'évocation de problèmes sociaux et politiques controversés. Fondé sur l'efficacité, une documentation précise et des dialogues réalistes, ses œuvres contribuent à imposer le style naturaliste de la télévision américaine.
Au théâtre, il est surtout connu pour être l'auteur de Douze Hommes en colère, pièce en deux actes, créée en 1953. L'adaptation de cette œuvre au cinéma par Sidney Lumet sous le même titre remporte un Ours d'or au Festival de Berlin 1957.
Il est également le scénariste de treize épisodes de la série télévisée américaine Les Accusés et, seul ou en collaboration, de plusieurs films, dont L'Homme de l'Ouest (1958) d'Anthony Mann et Le Commando de sa Majesté (1980) d'Andrew V. McLaglen.
Sa mort, en 2002, est causée par des complications liées à une insuffisance cardiaque.

The jury decides whether a young Chechen boy is guilty of the murder of his stepfather, a Russian military officer. Initially it seems that the boy was the murderer. However, one of the jurors (Sergei Makovetsky) votes in favour of acquittal. Since the verdict must be rendered unanimously, the jurors review the case, and one by one come to the conclusion that the boy was framed. The murder was performed by criminals involved in the construction business. The discussion is repeatedly interrupted by flashbacks from the boy's wartime childhood.

When the final closing arguments have been presented to the judge, she gives her instructions to the jury, all of whom are men. In the United States, the verdict in criminal cases must be unanimous. A non-unanimous verdict results in a hung jury which in turn forces a mistrial. The question they are deciding is whether the defendant, a teenage boy from a city slum, murdered his father. The jury is further instructed that a guilty verdict will be accompanied by a mandatory death sentence. (Under current American criminal law, a defendant must first be found guilty, and then the jury in the sentencing phase must find an aggravating circumstance and unanimously agree to recommend the death penalty, if the state has the death penalty.) The jury of twelve retires to the jury room where they begin to become acquainted with each other's personalities and discuss the case.

The film begins with a new trainload of Polish Jews arriving for processing at Sobibor. The German Commandant gives them a welcoming speech, assuring the new arrivals that the place is a work camp. Other SS officers move along the assembled lines of prisoners, selecting a small number who have trade skills (such as goldsmiths, seamstresses, shoemakers, and tailors). The remaining prisoners are sent away to a different part of the camp from which a pillar of smoke rises day and night. It is some time before the new prisoners realize Sobibor is a death camp, all of the other Jews are exterminated in gas chambers, and their corpses are cremated in large ovens. The small number of prisoners who are kept alive in the other part of the camp are charged with sorting the belongings taken from those who are murdered and then repairing the shoes, recycling the clothing, and melting down any silver or gold to make jewelry for the SS officers. Despite their usefulness, these surviving prisoners' existence is precarious, and beatings and executions can occur at any time.

The story begins in a courtroom where a teenage boy from a city slum is on trial for stabbing his father to death. Final closing arguments have been presented, and the judge then instructs the jury to decide whether the boy is guilty of murder. The judge further informs them that a guilty verdict will be accompanied by a mandatory death sentence. The twelve-man jury retires to a private room, where they spend a short while getting acquainted before they begin deliberating. It is immediately apparent that the jurors have already decided that the boy is guilty, and that they plan to return their verdict quickly, without taking time for discussion – with the sole exception of Juror Number 8 (K.K. Raina). His is the only "not guilty" vote in a preliminary tally. He explains that there is too much at stake for him to go along with the verdict without at least talking about it first. His vote annoys the other jurors, particularly Juror 7 (M. K. Raina), who has tickets to Dilip Kumar's movie Mashal.
