“He loved the American Dream. With a vengeance.”

Tony Montana (Al Pacino) steps off a boat in Miami during the Mariel boatlift with nothing but a Cuban refugee's hunger and a green card he earned by killing a government official. Brian De Palma follows him into the cocaine trade, where he moves in on Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia) and the nightclubs he runs. Here the price of wanting everything is plain: Tony takes it, and the taking is what he can't stop.
