Produced and directed by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by screenwriter and playwright Tony Kushner, WEST SIDE STORY tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love, set in 1957 New York City. A whole new generation can experience this reimagining of the beloved musical originally choreographed by Jerome Robbins, with music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and original book by Arthur Laurents. Ansel Elgort stars as Tony, a former member of the Jets street gang, and Rachel Zegler stars as María, a young woman whose brother is the head of the Jets' rival gang, the Sharks. When Tony and María meet, they fall in love, but those close to them discourage their union. As racial and territorial tensions mount between the competing gangs, events unfold that threaten the young lovers' happiness. Along with its iconic songs, the film features breathtaking new choreography from Justin Peck, with the score helmed by renowned Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Gustavo Dudamel and arranged by composer and conductor David Newman. WEST SIDE STORY also stars Ariana DeBose, David Alvarez, Mike Faist, Josh Andrés Rivera, Ana Isabelle, Corey Stoll, Brian d'Arcy James, and Rita Moreno, who was featured in the 1961 film version, and who serves as an executive producer. The film's creative team additionally includes Kushner as an executive producer, along with Daniel Lupi and Adam Somner, with Kevin McCollum and Kristie Macosko Krieger also producing. A timeless story of love and social unrest, the film also features stunning cinematography by Janusz Kaminski.

This is one of the most famous classic Musicals EVER MADE. Rita Moreno made this possible to attract a new generation of westsider fans. Also to the fool who called it dumb. This story shows the struggles of acceptance the AMERICAN CITIZEN OF PUERTO RICO had to endure to be respected & accepted. America=Diversity.WE ALL CAME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY.SO RESPECT THE HISTORY..I am Made in America,with PuertoRican roots. (Proud Philly Rican) 💯🔥🇵🇷

I've tried to watch this movie 3 times but always burst into laughter whenever the Jets start dancing. I could buy into the hokey dialog and dance styles in a 60's movie, but this not by todays standards of entertainment. Frankly you're better-off just googling the Norm McDonald parady and calling it a night 🌙

The bad reviews make me laugh! Complaints about forgettable songs, race and politics, etc. WATCH the original movie! The songs are classic, the race and politics storyline took place in the 1960's when the movie was made and race is the movies foundation. Spielberg did a spectacular job with the cinematography. While it's not the original, it's a fresh take on the classic. It can always be viewed on Disney+ or HBO/MAX first.
