How to approach
There is no cold route to the screen departments. Their terms of use state that WME does not accept submissions of any kind through the website, by email or otherwise, and the excluded list names screenplays and treatments specifically rather than leaving it to inference.
One thing worth knowing because it causes real confusion: their books department does read unsolicited manuscripts, and says so publicly. It also states twice that it does not consider or represent screenplays. A screenwriter following the books route is not finding a clever way in, they are writing to a department that has ruled their work out in writing.
The PreList verdict
Who this is for: writers who already have representation or an offer on the table. Agencies of this size sign from referral, from track record and from other agencies, not from the inbox.
The reason this entry exists is the books confusion. Searching for WME submissions surfaces a genuinely open manuscript route, and a screenwriter can lose an afternoon to it before finding the sentence that excludes screenplays. Better to know now.

Frequently asked questions
Does WME accept unsolicited screenplays?
No. Their terms state WME does not accept submissions of any kind through the website, email or otherwise, and name screenplays and treatments among the excluded material.
What about the WME books department?
It accepts unsolicited manuscripts, but states plainly that it does not consider or represent screenplays. It is not a route for screenwriters.
