West Side Story is an adaptation of the classic romantic tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet". In the slums of the upper West Side of Manhattan, New York, a gang of American teenagers called the Jets, led by Riff, compete with a rival gang of recently immigrated Puerto Ricans, the Sharks, led by Bernado, to "own" the neighbourhood streets.
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.
