Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger) and Velma Kelley (Catherine Zeta-Jones) are two women who want to be stars. They both also happen to be on Chicago’s murderess’s row.

Roxie has killed her abusive lover and Velma has shot her two-timing husband. Seeing the story of a lifetime, Velma’s slick lawyer, Billy Flynn (Richard Gere), postpones her court date to take on Roxie’s case, turning her story into a headline - and Roxie into a star!

With the limelight taken off her, Velma fumes, but she hasn’t given up yet, and the two women try to outdo each other in their sensational pursuit of fame and celebrity - behind bars!

Chicago is the big screen version of the award-winning musical about murder, greed, corruption, adultery, treachery…and all that jazz.
