The film Twelve Angry Men, staring Henry Fonda, was based on a jury deciding if an 18-year-old boy was guilty of murdering his own father. The twelve men dispute for hours in a hot jury room, sweating from the frustration of all the debating. Each of them believed the boy was guilty but Davis, played by Henry Fonda, who disputes against all of them to prove his argument. As an excellent critical thinker and leader he convinces eleven men to change their minds. .
In the beginning of this film Davis did not believe the boy was innocent but he wanted to view the facts carefully before he sent a boy to die. He brought to the table the testimonies and evidence and viewed them all carefully, viewing the little details as well as the big ones. Instead of just believing everything the witnesses had said at the stand he reacted in the moment. He acted as the old man the night of the murder pretending he was in the apartment that night and walked across the jury room proving that what the witness had said was inaccurate. It took the man more than twenty seconds to walk to the staircase proving that the man had not seen the boy run away from the murder seen. Davis also states that the train that passed that night makes a tremendous amount of noise, so the man could not have heard the boy yell, "I am going to kill you!" to his father. The train would have been too loud to hear anything. .
Davis stayed very open-minded. He placed himself in the shoes of the boy, trying to think the way the boy would have had at the moment of the murder. He also listened to the point of views of the other jury members without resenting them for their opinions. Staying calmly and showing such a dedication helped Davis change the minds of the other jury members. .
The last jury member to convince strongly had his points of logical vulnerability. Throughout the film he had a strong assumption against young teenage boys and considered them as "underprivileged murders.
