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.
