Director Baz Luhrmann’s audacious, stylized updating of the Bard’s timeless romance shifts the setting to modern-day Verona Beach, where two brutal crime families, the Montagues and the Capulets, vie for power. Amid the violence, teenagers Romeo Montague (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet Capulet (Claire Danes) meet and fall in love, but their parents’ bitter rivalry leads to tragedy all around.
