Event Date:
August 13, 2013 - 6:00pm Fans of the iconic film "12 Angry Men" will be in for a special treat tonight as Plan B: Microlounge in Carson City shows the film for free.
Before the film, at 6 p.m., the cast of Proscenium Players "12 Angry Jurors" will make an appearance, in costume and in character. The director of the play, which opens August 16 at Silver State Charter School, will also be on hand to answer questions.
12 Angry Men is a 1957 American drama film adapted from a teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose. Written and produced by Rose himself and directed by Sidney Lumet, this trial film tells the story of a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt.
In the United States, a verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous. The film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set: with the exception of the film's opening, which begins outside on the steps of the courthouse followed by the judge's final instructions to the jury before retiring, a brief final scene on the courthouse steps, and two short scenes in an adjoining washroom, the entire movie takes place in the jury room. The total time spent outside of the jury room is three minutes out of the full 96 minutes of the movie.
The classic 1957 film, "12 Angry Men" explores many techniques of consensus-building, and the difficulties encountered in the process, among a group of men whose range of personalities adds intensity and conflict.
In 2007, "12 Angry Men" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Plan B: Microlounge's movie night is a chance to see this amazing movie for free.
The movie night, hosted by Mike Wiencek will be full of fun and surprises. As with all of the venue's movie nights, the event is completely free. There is even trivia at the beginning of the movie where audience members can win movie candy to munch on during the show. Raffle tickets will be given for every Sassafras food item purchase and one of the items to be given away will be two show tickets to "12 Angry Jurors."
Plan B: Microlounge is located at 318 North Carson Street in Carson City.
