"Twelve Angry Men" is a 1954 episode of the American anthology television series Studio One, written by Reginald Rose and directed by Franklin J. Schaffner. It follows the titular twelve members of a jury as they deliberate an apparently clear-cut murder trial, and details the tension among them when one juror argues that the defendant might not be guilty. Staged as a CBS live production on September 20, 1954, the drama garnered three Emmy Awards for Rose's writing, Schaffner's direction, and Robert Cummings' lead performance.
