West Side Story

Manhattan, Upper West Side, 1957.  Against the backdrop of the decaying tenements, two warring gangs - tough Riff’s Jets and swaggering Bernardo’s Puerto Rican Sharks - fight for supremacy.  Now, with a winner-takes-all rumble on the cards, an unexpected whirlwind romance at the high-school dance between former Jet brawler Tony, and Bernardo’s delicate little sister María sets the stage for an all-out turf war.  But what is a gang without its territory?  Above all, when the future is uncertain, what is hope without love?

Directed by Steven Spielberg.
