On the unforgiving streets of 1950s New York, two gangs are engaged in a long-standing feud. The Sharks, a Puerto Rican gang, grapple with the difficulties of assimilating into American society. The Jets, a Polish-American gang, resist newcomers to their turf. In the midst of this rivalry, a Jet, Tony, falls in love with a beautiful Sharks girl, Maria. Tony and Maria meet secretly and plan to run away, but after a fight between the Jets and the Sharks, Tony kills Maria's brother, Bernardo. To make matters worse Maria's Puerto Rican suitor, Chino, is bitter over losing Maria's love and the death of Bernardo, and has a score to settle.
