Winner of six Academy® Awards, including Best Picture, CHICAGO is available in a must-own 3-disc DVD Collector's Edition. It includes hours of never-before-seen bonus materials, plus the 16-track soundtrack.
In CHICAGO, it's 1929. The city's hot with murder... passion... fame... sex... And All That Jazz. The Windy City's promise of adventure and opportunity dazzle Roxie Hart (Renee Zellweger, "Bridget Jones's Diary"), who wishes to follow in the golden footsteps of sensational vaudeville performer Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones, Oscar winner Best Supporting Actress 2002 "Chicago"). Roxie gets her wish when some very wrong steps land both the star and starlet in prison for separate murder charges. Under the crooked care of the prison's Matron Morton (Queen Latifah, "Bringing Down The House"), Roxie meets up with legendary lawyer Billy Flynn (Richard Gere, "Shall We Dance"). Roxie's career skyrockets, but the clever Miss Kelly has some surprises left for her second act.
