1997年，戴安娜王妃车祸身亡，举国悲痛欲绝，但是英国王室人员却对此采取了逃避疏离的态度。这种漠不关心激怒了很多英国民众。民众反王室的情绪相当高涨，紧急形势让王室陷入了严重的危机。但是，英王伊丽沙白（海伦•米伦HelenMirren饰）并没有出来稳定民心，而是携家人躲到了度假行宫。托尼•布莱尔（麦克•辛MichaelSheen饰）此时刚出任首相，面对此刻棘手的情势，必须尽快找到平衡各方利益的措施，让王室摆脱信任危机，女王重新修好与国民的关系，而自己也在当中树立权威。 同志电影史最重要的作品之一，它不只是第一部直接道出‘同性恋’字眼的英语片，更勇于碰触性取向成为被抹黑、勒索和恐惧的社会现实。在同志电影多如过江之鲫的今日，它的直陈无碍更显难得。英国红星狄鲍嘉也在突破形象后，日后毫无忌惮地演出维斯康堤、法斯宾达的电影。当年囿于英国电检而消失的十分钟，也将以全新数位修复拷贝，忠实重现。 Thekillingofa15-year-old-boyrocksthenation,asaSikhclassmateoftheboyischargedwiththemurder.Thetrial,whichisengulfedinprotestsandmediaspeculation,bringstogether12jurorswhofindthemselveshavingtomakeadecisionthattheentirecountryiswaitingfor.Thejurorsinclude:Charles,ayoungmanwhohaslefttheseminarytosearchforhislostlove;Elsie,anoldlonelywomanwhoisdying;Johnny,arecoveringalcoholic;Rose,abeautifulwomanwhosehusbandisparanoidintheaftermathofacaraccident;Jeremy,aonce-wealthyfamilymanwholostallhismoneywhenconnedbyafriendinabadinvestment;Peter,whowantstobeagoodandimpartialjuroratthetrialbutisbesiegedbyhiswife’sparents,whowanttogetinvolved;andMarcia,asinglemotherwhoisforcedtolethermotherbackintoherlifeduringthetrial.Thevictim,JohnMaher,wasstabbedtwenty-eighttimesonhiswaytoschoolonemorning.Hisclassmate,DuvinderSingh,isaccused.
