“West Side Story,” the award-winning 1961 adaptation of the classic romantic tragedy “Romeo and Juliet,” will return to the big screen at Bainbridge Cinemas for a special revival at 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 27.

The feuding families of Shakespeare’s classic become two warring New York City gangs — the white Jets, led by Riff, and the Puerto Rican Sharks, led by Bernardo.

Their hatred escalates to a point where neither can coexist with any form of understanding. But when Riff’s best friend (and former Jet) Tony and Bernardo’s younger sister Maria meet at a dance, no one can do anything to stop their love.

Maria and Tony begin meeting in secret, planning to run away.

Then the Sharks and Jets plan a rumble under the highway – whoever wins gains control of the streets.

Maria sends Tony to stop it, hoping it can end the violence and it all goes terribly wrong. Before the lovers know what’s happened, tragedy strikes and doesn’t stop until the climactic and heartbreaking ending.
