Scarface

Scarface follows Tony, a Mexican ex-convict who claws his way to the top of Los Angeles's cocaine trade in the 1980s. Ruthless and ambitious, he builds a criminal empire through violence and cunning, transforming himself from street-level dealer to kingpin. But his meteoric rise breeds enemies—both in the underworld and within his own circle. As paranoia and greed consume him, Tony's empire crumbles around him, and those closest to him become his greatest threats. This brutal crime saga explores the seductive allure and ultimate destruction of the American dream, anchored by a powerhouse lead performance that defined the genre.
