This is just the perfect movie about rationality. Damn, there is even a fantastic YouTube series discussing this movie in the context of instrumental rationality! And besides, I have never met anyone who did not enjoy this classic film.
This classic film is a masterclass in group decision-making, overcoming biases, and the process of critical thinking. The plot revolves around a jury deliberating the guilt of a young man accused of murder. Initially, 11 out of the 12 jurors vote “guilty,” but one juror (played by Henry Fonda) questions the certainty of the evidence. It is an absolute must-watch.

Just watched it upon your recommendation. Thanks! It is indeed a fantastic film, and a great example of (epistemic) rationality.
