Tony Montana talking with Elvira Hancock

Scarface is a 1983 film directed by Brian De Palma, written by Oliver Stone and starring Al Pacino as Antonio "Tony" Montana. A loose remake of the 1932 Howard Hawks gangster film of the same title, it tells the story of a fictional Cuban refugee who comes to Florida in 1980 as a result of the Mariel Boatlift.

Tony becomes a gangster against the backdrop of the 1980s cocaine boom. The film chronicles his rise to the top of Miami's criminal underworld and subsequent downfall.

Although initially released to little fanfare, and the target of harsh reviews, Scarface gradually developed a significant cult following, especially within the world of hip-hop, and retroactive critical acclaim.

The film is dedicated to Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht, who were the writers of the original Scarface. This movie is loosely based on the Mariel Boatlift where thousands of Cuban refugees entered the United States after years of communist persecution.
