Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, an exiled Cuban criminal who goes to work for Miami drug lord Robert Loggia. Montana rises to the top of Florida's crime chain, appropriating Loggia's cokehead mistress (Michelle Pfeiffer) in the process. Howard Hawks' "X Marks the Spot" motif in depicting the story line's many murders is dispensed with in the 1983 Scarface; instead, we are inundated with blood by the bucketful, especially in the now-infamous buzz saw scene. One carry-over from the original Scarface is Tony Montana's incestuous yearnings for his sister Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). The screenplay for the 1983 Scarface was written by Oliver Stone. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Inspired by the 1932 classic of the same title, this time set in Miami, Florida, in the 1980s, after the Mariel boatlift brought thousands of Cuban refugees to the United States. Tony Montana is the new Scarface, finding wealth and power beyond his wildest dreams. He loved The American Dream, with a vengeance. In the spring of 1980, the port of Mariel Harber was opened, and thousands set sail for the United States. They came in search of the American Dream. One of them found it on the sun-washed avenues of Miami ... wealth, power and passion beyond his wildest dreams. He was Tony Montana. The world will remember him by another name ... Scarface.
