Where was 12 Angry Men filmed
12 Angry Men
Year: 1957
Genre: Action
Country: USA
Film was filmed to feel increasingly tense and enclosed, using a largely single-room setup that emphasizes heat, noise, and close interpersonal distance as pressure builds during a jury’s deliberations. The production relies on controlled lighting, tight blocking, and carefully staged movement to highlight shifting alliances, bias, and the practical work of testing “reasonable doubt.”
