Synopsis
"He arrived with nothing and built an empire..."
"He had nothing but a simple desire..."
Universal Pictures present the digital re-release of the classic film SCARFACE that launched Al Pacino's career. Visionary director Brian DePalma, with a screenplay written by Oliver Stone, is set in the decadence and violence of a 1980's drug empire.
Tony Montana (Al Pacino), is a Cuban deportee who becomes the top drug baron of Miami's cocaine empire in this gritty and bloody saga. Tony Montana uses his pure ambition, courage, and intelligence to rise from a dishwasher to the head of a criminal empire. It is his ambition, however, mixed with paranoia, that proves to be his downfall.
