Generally regarded to be the best of the classic gangster films, SCARFACE tells the exciting story of organized crime's brutal control over Chicago during the Prohibition. Oscar winner Paul Muni gives an electrifying performance as Tony Carmonte, an ambitious criminal with a ruthless drive to be the city's top crime boss.

Directed by the legendary Howard Hawks, SCARFACE was a groundbreaking film which established both Paul Muni and George Raft as major Hollywood stars, while influencing all gangland films to follow.

An ambitious and nearly insane violent gangster climbs the ladder of success in the mob, but his weaknesses prove to be his downfall. Johnny Lovo rises to the head of the bootlegging crime syndicate on the south side of Chicago following the murder of former head, Big Louis Costillo, after contracting Big Louis' bodyguard Tony Camonte to make a hit on his boss. As Tony is thinking bigger than Johnny and is not afraid of anyone or anything, Tony increasingly makes decisions on his own.

Tony's murder spree increases, taking out anyone who stands in his and Johnny's way of absolute control on the south side, and in Tony's view absolute control of the entire city. Tony's ultimate downfall may be one of the two women in his life -- Poppy, Johnny's girlfriend, to whom Tony is attracted; and Tony's 18-year-old sister Cesca, who is self-professed to be older mentally than her years much to Tony's chagrin. He will do anything to protect her innocence.
