V máji 1980 otvoril Fidel Castro kubánsky prístav Mariel s jasným zámerom nechať niektorých občanov odísť za príbuznými do USA. Čoskoro sa ukázalo, že Castro prinútil majiteľov lodí, aby odviezli nielen príbuzných, ale aj najhorších kubánskych väzňov. Medzi 125 000 utečencov, ktorí sa vylodili na Floride, bolo 25 000 trestancov. A jedným z nich bol aj kubánsky politický väzeň Tony Montana (Al Pacino). Tony ale hneď po príchode skončí vo väzení, kde dostane ponuku: zabije komunistu a drogová mafia ho dostane von aj s jeho parťákom. Tony Montana sa veľmi rýchlo adaptuje v nových podmienkach slobodného sveta. So svojím priateľom Mannym vykonávajú príležitostné práce v miestnom podsvetí a pri jednom odovzdaní drog skončia v ich rukách ukradnuté peniaze, za ktoré Montana vybuduje vlastné drogové impérium. S mocou a bohatstvom však rastie aj jeho ego a predovšetkým paranoja, že ho o jeho výdobytky pripraví niekto rovnakým spôsobom, ako to urobil on.
