Rent

In the dawn of the 1990s, New Yorkers struggle with their careers, love lives and the effects of the AIDS epidemic on their community while striving for success and acceptance. Mark (Anthony Rapp), an aspiring filmmaker, and Roger (Adam Pascal), an HIV-positive musician, scramble for money to pay rent to their landlord and former roommate, Benny (Taye Diggs). Meanwhile, their friend Tom (Jesse L. Martin), a professor, has fallen for Angel (Wilson Jermaine Heredia), who is slowly dying of AIDS.

Adapted from Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning Broadway musical and directed by Chris Columbus (Chicago), Rent is "exuberant, sexy and life affirming in equal measure."—Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter.
