Winner of 10 Academy Awards®, West Side Story is one of the true gems of movie musicals. Tony (Beymer) and Maria (Wood) are the Romeo and Juliet of New York City in the 1950s. A rivalry forms between two gangs—the Sharks and the Jets—with Tony and Maria caught in the middle. Based on the stage play by Robert E. Griffith and Harold S. Prince, conceived, directed, and choreographed by Jerome Robbins, with a book by Arthur Laurents. This is the 50th Anniversary Blu-ray Disc™ edition. (Gary Reber)
