Too late, the U.S. authorities discovered that Castro had taken the opportunity to rid himself of some undesirables: amongst the hordes of freedom-seekers were 25,000 convicted criminals, political insurgents and mental-asylum inmates - all headed for Miami.\u003cbr\u003eScarface uses this tense social climate as a backdrop for the tale of Tony Montana (Pacino) and his pursuit of the American Dream. Tony and his best friend Manny (Bauer) begin their new life in the States locked up in an overcrowded internment camp built under a freeway. Offered a chance at freedom and a Green Card, the two agree to assassinate a former politician who has fallen out of favour with Castro and been sent to Miami. With the hit a success, the two friends become legal citizens of the Land of the Free.\u003cbr\u003eManny's contacts in Miami soon have him and Tony running 'errands' all over the city on behalf of local crime boss Frank Lopez (Loggia). But Tony is an ambitious man - he sees the mansions, the swimming pools and the flashy sports cars and says 'Me too'. Most of all, though, he sees Frank's wife, Elvira (Pfeiffer).\u003cbr\u003eIt's not long before Tony's  ambition and rampant cocaine addiction combine to give him the confidence to challenge Frank's authority. After dispatching his former boss (amongst others), Tony assumes control and marries Elvira - and the final piece of the dream falls into place.\u003cbr\u003ePredictably, as Tony's empire grows and his power and influence spread all the way back to his homeland, so his grip on his own life weakens. A virtual slave to drugs and paranoia, Tony loses first the love of his mother and then that of Elvira. He then discovers that his sister Gina (Mastrantonio) is secretly seeing Manny, a union Tony has forbidden under threat of death. True to his word Tony kills Manny, his last true friend, and Gina is to die later at the hands of an assassin hired to kill her brother.\u003cbr\u003eWhen a group of mercenaries (under the orders of one of his rivals) attacks Tony's home, the stage is set for the final showdown which will ultimately prove him either the true king of the world he has created for himself or a tragic victim of his own excess. Armed with the mother of all machine guns and filled to the eyeballs with enough cocaine to support a Rolling Stones tour, Tony faces his attackers single-handedly, ready to die for the American Dream - a dream he has come to epitomise.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pearls Books n Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45826183626943,"sku":"24525","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/5552\/0703\/files\/scarfacedvd.jpg?v=1783469086","url":"https:\/\/pearlsbooksfnq.com\/products\/24525","provider":"Pearls Books n Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
