Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg, from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Tony Kushner, West Side Story tells the classic tale of fierce rivalries and young love in 1957 New York City. Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actress for Ariana DeBose's incredible turn as Anita, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, and Best Production Design, this reimagining of the beloved musical introduces Rachel Zegler as Maria and also stars Ansel Elgort, Brian d’Arcy James, and Corey Stoll, with Rita Moreno in the new role of Valentina. Moreno—one of only three artists to be honored with Academy, Emmy, GRAMMY, Tony, and Peabody Awards—also serves as one of the film’s executive producers. In English and Spanish.
