Description of this Scarface Poster
Scarface is a 1983 American crime film directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone. Loosely based on the 1929 novel of the same name and serving as a loose remake of the 1932 film, it tells the story of Cuban refugee Tony Montana (Al Pacino), who arrives penniless in Miami during Mariel's bypass surgery and becomes a powerful drug lord. The film co-stars Steven Bauer, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Robert Loggia. De Palma dedicated this version of Scarface to the memories of Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht, the writers of the original film.
Pacino became interested in a remake of the 1932 version after seeing it, and he and producer Martin Bregman began developing it. Sidney Lumet was initially hired to direct the film but was replaced by De Palma, who hired Stone to write the screenplay. Filming took place from November 1982 to May 1983, in Los Angeles and Miami. The film's soundtrack was composed by Giorgio Moroder.
Scarface premiered in New York on December 1, 1983 and was released on December 9 by Universal Pictures. The film grossed $45 million at the domestic box office and $66 million worldwide. Initial critical reception was negative due to its excessive violence, profanity, and graphic drug use. Some Cuban expatriates in Miami objected to the film's depiction of Cubans as criminals and drug traffickers. In the years since, critics have re-evaluated it, and it is now considered one of the greatest gangster films ever made. Writers and directors such as Martin Scorsese praised the film, and it has been widely referenced in pop culture, particularly in hip hop music, as well as in comic books, television programs, and games video. The film has become a cult classic.
In 1980, Cuban refugee and ex-convict Tony Montana arrives in Miami, as part of the Mariel Lift, where he is sent to a refugee camp with his best friend Manny Ray and their companions Angel and Chi-Chi. The four are released and given green cards in exchange for killing a former Cuban general at the behest of Miami drug lord Frank Lopez. They find work as dishwashers in a restaurant, but are not satisfied. Tony proclaims that he is destined for greater things.
Frank's right-hand man, Omar Suarez, sends the four to buy cocaine from Colombian dealers. Tony and Angel are captured at gunpoint, and Tony is forced to watch Angel dismembered with a chainsaw before Manny and Chi-Chi save him. The three kill the Colombians and personally deliver the recovered drugs and money to Frank, suspecting Omar of setting them up.
During their meeting, Tony becomes attracted to Frank's trophy wife, Elvira. Tony and Manny start working for Frank. Later, Tony visits his mother and younger sister Gina, the latter of whom he is overprotective of. Disgusted by his life of crime, his mother throws him out. Manny is attracted to Gina, but Tony tells him to stay away from her.
Frank sends Tony and Omar to Cochabamba, Bolivia, to meet with cocaine kingpin Alejandro Sosa. During the meeting, Omar is unhappy when Tony negotiates a big deal without Frank's approval. Sosa later had his men hang Omar from a helicopter, telling Tony that he was a police informant and that Frank had poor judgment for trusting him. Tony vouches for Frank's organization; Sosa likes Tony and agrees to the deal, but warns Tony never to betray him.
Seeing that Frank is furious about Omar's death and the size of the deal with Sosa, Tony sets up an independent cocaine operation. Mel Bernstein, a corrupt police detective on Frank's payroll, accosts Tony at a nightclub and attempts to extort money from him in exchange for police protection. Tony sees Gina fraternizing with a man and beats them both when he sees him groping her. Hitmen then attempts to kill Tony, who escapes with a gunshot wound. He confronts Frank and Bernstein, certain that they orchestrated the attack; Frank confesses his involvement at gunpoint and begs for his life, but Tony asks Manny to kill him before continuing to kill Bernstein. Tony marries Elvira and becomes the distributor of Sosa's product, using his profits to build a multi-million dollar business empire and build a large, heavily guarded estate.
In 1983, a money laundering sting operation by federal agents led to Tony being charged with tax evasion and a prison sentence. Sosa offers to use his government connections to keep Tony out of prison, but only if Tony helps kill an activist who intends to expose Sosa's drug operations. During dinner at an upscale restaurant, Tony accuses Manny of causing his arrest and Elvira of being an infertile drug addict, prompting Elvira to leave him.
Tony and Sosa's henchman, "Shadow", travels to New York to carry out the assassination. Shadow plants a radio-controlled bomb under the man's car, but Tony tries to call off the hit when he sees him with his wife and children. When Shadow refuses to back down, Tony kills him before he can detonate the bomb. Tony returns to Miami, where an enraged Sosa calls him to promise retribution for allowing the activist to deliver the expose. At his mother's urging, Tony, who is high on cocaine, tracks down Gina and reunites her with Manny; in a fit of rage, Tony kills Manny only to learn that Gina had just married him. A distraught Tony returns to his estate with Gina and begins a massive cocaine binge in his office.
Sosa's men begin to invade the grounds and kill Tony's guards as Gina enters the office with a special revolver from the chief, accusing him of wanting her for himself. She shoots and wounds him, but is killed by one of Sosa's men who Tony kills in return. Tony deploys an M16 rifle with an undermounted M203 grenade launcher against the invaders, killing many of them but suffering multiple gunshot wounds. He taunts his attackers until an assassin comes up to the office and shoots him in the back with a double-barreled shotgun. Tony's body falls from the balcony into a swimming pool, where he floats near the base of a globe bearing the ironic motto "The World is Yours".
