Synopsis

Manhattan's Upper West Side in 1957. Against the backdrop of crumbling tenements in the San Juan Hill neighborhood and the threat of demolition wreckers at any moment, two rival gangs, the tough Reef's Jets and Bernardo's Puerto Rican Sharks, vie for supremacy. When romance blossoms between Tony, a Jets brawler, and Maria, Bernardo's sister, at a school dance in a winner-take-all battle for supremacy, the stage is set for a deadly turf war.
