CLASSIC. Adapted from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Nick Carraway, a young man from Minnesota, moves to Long Island where he rents a bungalow next door to the mysterious Jay Gatsby, a wealthy businessman with a reputation for hosting lavish parties at his mansion. Nick soon finds himself enmeshed in Gatsby’s dream of rekindling his past romance with socialite Daisy Buchanan, even though Daisy is now married to Tom Buchanan. Growing increasingly suspicious of Daisy’s relationship with Gatsby, Tom confronts Gatsby at the Plaza Hotel, where sordid truths are unveiled and a series of tragic events ensues. The Jazz Age comes to life in this stunning adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece.
