Scarface (1983) is a critically acclaimed crime drama directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone. It is a remake of the 1932 film of the same name, but it is set in 1980s Miami and focuses on the rise and fall of Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant who becomes a powerful drug lord. Here’s an overview of the film:

The story centers around Tony Montana (played by Al Pacino), who arrives in Miami in 1980 as part of the Mariel boatlift, a mass emigration of Cubans to the United States. Starting as a low-level criminal, Tony quickly rises through the ranks of the drug trade, driven by his ambition and ruthless desire for power. He partners with drug kingpin Elvira Hancock (played by Michelle Pfeiffer) and becomes entangled in a violent world of cocaine cartels, betrayal, and crime.

Tony’s unyielding pursuit of wealth and dominance leads him to make dangerous enemies, including fellow drug lords and law enforcement. As his empire grows, so does his paranoia, and he begins to lose control, resulting in his eventual downfall.
