The 180 degree rule is used when two characters are in conversation in the same scene. The camera will go left to right and not exceed 180°. If the rule is not followed, the viewer could be confused on who is talking or who they are talking to. However, you some films have broken the 180° rule and it has worked such as The Shining.
Here is the example from The Shining. This clip shows the rule being broken creating a different view on the scene making it more interesting.
Here is an image explaining the 180 degree rule, showing where the camera is places and the characters.
