Synopsis
After immigrating to Miami with his friend Manny and obtaining a green card by killing a Cuban official, Tony Montana rises from dishwasher to kingpin of Miami's cocaine trade. He ruthlessly eliminates competition, including his former mentor, Frank Lopez. Tony's greed and paranoia lead him to make enemies among rival cartels and law enforcement. His empire begins to crumble after he murders an undercover DEA agent, leading to a full-scale investigation against him. Meanwhile, Tony's sister Gina becomes involved with his business partner, Steve, causing tension between them. The film culminates in Tony's infamous line, 'Say hello to my little friend,' as he prepares for a final shootout at his mansion.
