Scarface is a 1983 epic crime drama film directed by Brian De Palma, written by Oliver Stone, and starring Al Pacino as Tony Montana. A remake of Howard Hawks’ original 1932 film of the same name, the film tells the story of a fictional Cuban refugee who comes to Florida in 1980 as a result of the Mariel Boatlift. Montana 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 in tragic Greek fashion. The film is dedicated to Howard Hawks and Ben Hecht, who were the writers of the original 1932 film. Scarface was released on December 9, 1983 in 996 theaters, grossing USD .6 million in its opening weekend despite drawing controversy regarding the violence and graphic language in the film and received many negative reviews from film critics. The film went on to make .4 million in North America and .5 million in the rest of the world for a worldwide total of .9 million.
