In the slums of the upper West Side of Manhattan, New York, a gang of Polish-American teenagers called the Jets compete with a rival gang of recently immigrated Puerto Ricans, the Sharks, to "own" the neighborhood streets. Tensions are high between the gangs but two romantics, one from each gang, fall in love leading to tragedy.

"Good movie"

"3.5 stars a modern musical version of Romeo and Juliet."

"A solidly well made movie. Impressive dance choreography, paired with strong editing and cinematography, and performances (Rita Moreno, Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, Russ Tamblyn, and especially Richard Beymer stand out). This is a rare case where both the original and remake are both equally good, and where the remake makes proper upgrades to the source material while still retaining the spirit of the original. As a matter of fact, I very narrowly prefer the remake in part due to the more cinematic feel of the new one, but this version is still impressive nevertheless."
