Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes star in Baz Luhrmann's Oscar-nominated, BAFTA Award-winning version of Shakespeare's tale of 'star cross'd lovers'. Updated in setting to Verona Beach, where the gangs of the corporate dynasties, the Capulets and Montagues, battle with guns as much as knives. Luhrmann retains the dialogue but imposes his own stunning visual stamp on the film, turning a classic play into a classic film.
