Juror 8

Eight ordinary Seoul citizens, on September 21, 2008, become the nation's first-ever jury. Their duty is to deliberate a matricide case that appears conclusively solved by ironclad evidence. Presided over by a skeptical judge who doubts the very concept of a jury trial, these strangers—a housewife, a student, a taxi driver, a shop owner—must navigate personal biases, systemic pressure, and their own fears to uncover the truth. Outside the courtroom, a parallel drama unfolds, where more than just the defendant's fate hangs in the balance: the future of Korean justice itself is on trial.
