The film"s page
Dans le West Side New Yorkais des années 1950, deux bandes rivales s’affrontent pour le contrôle du quartier : les Jets, menés par Riff, et les Sharks, sous le contrôle de Bernardo. Les premiers, fils d’immigrés blancs italiens ou polonais qui ont su se faire une place sous le soleil du rêve américain, revendiquent leur légitimité face aux seconds, jeunes immigrés pauvres et portoricains. Alors que les rebuffades entre les deux clans s’apprêtent à dégénérer en guerre, Tony, un ancien Jets repenti mais toujours lié au clan, tombe sous le charme de Maria, la sœur de Bernardo.
Note : adaptation cinématographique d’une comédie musicale mise en musique par Leonard Bernstein et chorégraphiée par Jerome Robbins pour le Winter Garden de New York, West Side Story est une variation très libre de Roméo et Juliette de Shakespeare.
