Event Date Passed
After years of diplomatic silence between the United
States and Cuba, Castro opens the port of Mariel Harbor, Cuba, to
thousands immigrating to the United States in search of the American
dream. Shrewdly, Castro also unlocks the overpacked prisons, allowing
hordes of criminals to join the refugees. Tony Montana, a small time
hood, is one of them. In Florida, Montana connects with gangster Frank
Lopez, and guns his way through the sun washed streets of Miami where he
finds power, wealth and passion. He kills Lopez and marries his
mistress, Elvira. Montana, better known as "Scarface," soon becomes the
leader of a bloody cocaine-smuggling empire but at a terrible cost to
his sister, Gina and his loyal friend, Manny. However, like that of
others before him, Montana's reign is brief and a violent end is
guaranteed as rival gangster compete to become the next drug lord.
