West Side Story
The award-winning adaptation of the classic romantic tragedy "Romeo
and Juliet". The feuding families become two warring New York City
gangs, the white Jets led by Riff and the Latino Sharks, led by
Bernardo. Their hatred escalates to a point where neither can coexist
with any form of understanding. But when Riff's best friend (and
former Jet) Tony and Bernardo's younger sister Maria meet at a
dance, no one can do anything to stop their love. Maria and Tony
begin meeting in secret, planning to run away. Then the Sharks and
Jets plan a rumble under the highway--whoever wins gains control
of the streets. Maria sends Tony to stop it, hoping it can end the
violence. It goes terribly wrong, and before the lovers know what's
happened, tragedy strikes and doesn't stop until the climactic and
heartbreaking ending.
