Romeo is a Montague, Juliet is a Capulet. Their families are enmeshed in a feud, but the moment they meet - when Romeo and his friends attend a party at Juliet’s house in disguise - the two fall in love and quickly decide that they want to be married.
A Friar secretly marries them, hoping to end the feud. Romeo and his companions almost immediately encounter Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, who challenges Romeo. When Romeo refuses to fight, Romeo’s friend Mercutio accepts the challenge and is killed. Romeo then kills Tybalt and is banished. He spends that night with Juliet and then leaves.
Juliet’s father forces her into a marriage with Count Paris. To avoid marriage, Juliet takes a potion, given to her by the Friar, that makes her appear dead. The Friar will send Romeo word to be at her family tomb when she wakes. The plan goes awry, and Romeo learns instead that she is dead. In the tomb, Romeo kills himself, Juliet awakes, sees his body, and commits suicide. Their deaths appear finally to end the feud.
