West Side Story transplants the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet to New York City in the 1950s. The two feuding families are brawling street gangs—the Anglo Jets, led by Riff, and the Puerto Rican Sharks, led by Bernardo. At a dance, Tony (former leader of the Jets and Riff’s best friend) and Maria (Bernardo’s little sister) see each other across the room and it’s love at first sight. With opposition from both sides, they meet secretly and their love grows deeper. However, the gangs are plotting one last rumble, a fight that will finally end the battle for control of the streets, resulting in the climactic and heartbreaking ending.
