Black Swan follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in the New York City Ballet trying to make it to the top. When Artistic Director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), also impresses Leroy and becomes Nina's competition. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly with her innocence and grace, but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan, with her fiery personality. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side, with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her. (Gary Reber)
