William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet is an Academy Award nominated 1996 American film adaptation of William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet.
The film is a modernisation of Shakespeare's play, designed to appeal to a younger modern audience. The warring families (the Montagues and the Capulets) are represented as warring business empires and swords are replaced by guns. Despite the adaptation, the film retains Shakespeare's original dialogue, albeit edited down for modern cinema audiences.
