WEST SIDE STORY

2021, 2 hr 36 min, PG-13 Drama/Musical

Director: Steven Spielberg

 

Manhattan, Upper West Side, 1957. Against the backdrop of the decaying tenements in the San Juan Hill neighborhood and the constant threat of the wrecking ball, two warring gangs–tough Riff’s Jets and swaggering Bernardo’s Puerto Rican Sharks–fight for supremacy. Now, with a once-and-for-all, 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’s a gang without its territory? Above all, when the future is uncertain, what’s hope without love?
