In 1980, ex-convict Cuban refugee Tony Montana arrives in Miami as part of the Mariel boatlift with his friend Manny Ribera and their companions, Angel and Chi-Chi. Miami drug lord Frank Lopez arranges green cards for them in exchange for murdering a former henchman of Fidel Castro. Dissatisfied with their jobs as restaurant dishwashers, Tony and Manny meet with Frank's right-hand man, Omar Suarez, who sends the four to purchase cocaine from Colombian dealers. Tony and Angel are taken at gunpoint; Tony is made to watch as Angel is slaughtered with a chainsaw, before Manny and Chi-Chi rescue him. They kill the dealers and deliver the drugs and money to Frank in person, suspecting Omar set them up.
Tony and Manny begin working for Frank while Tony is attracted to Frank's trophy wife, Elvira Hancock. Tony visits his mother, and sister Gina. Tony gives his mother $1,000, claiming he earns money as a political organizer. Tony's mother is angered by his lie, berates Tony for his criminal lifestyle and kicks him out. Gina, however, keeps the money. Tony warns Manny to stay away from Gina. Frank sends Tony and Omar to Bolivia to meet cocaine kingpin Alejandro Sosa. Omar is angered when Tony seeks to negotiate a large deal without Frank's approval. Sosa sends Omar off but keeps Tony behind to watch his men hang Omar from a helicopter, and tells Tony that Omar is a police informant and that Frank has poor judgment for trusting him. Tony says he never trusted Omar. Sosa takes a liking to Tony for his integrity and agrees to the deal, but not before delivering Tony a stern warning to never double-cross him.
Back in Miami, Frank is furious at Tony for his unauthorized deal with Sosa and Omar's demise. Severing business ties with Frank, Tony sets up his own cocaine operation and continues flirting with Elvira, further infuriating Frank. Mel Bernstein, a corrupt detective on Frank's payroll, attempts to extort Tony for police protection. Tony confronts Gina, who's making out with a man in a club bathroom. At the club, hitmen seek to assassinate Tony, who escapes with minor wounds. He later confronts Frank and Bernstein about the attack, forcing Frank to confess. Tony has Manny kill Frank before killing Bernstein. Tony then takes complete control of Frank's drug operation and assets, making everything his own, and assembles the Montana Cartel. He marries Elvira and becomes the distributor of Sosa's cocaine. This makes Tony one of the most powerful drug lords in Miami, overseeing his rapidly growing drug empire and cartel in a large, heavily guarded estate.
In 1983, a sting operation by federal agents sees Tony charged with tax evasion and facing prison time. Sosa offers to keep Tony out of prison via his government connections if Tony kills a journalist about to expose Sosa. During a restaurant dinner a drunken Tony blames Manny for his arrest and calls Elvira an infertile junkie, prompting Elvira to call out his criminality to the other patrons and leave him. Sosa's henchman, Alberto, puts a radio-controlled bomb under the journalist's car, but Tony tries to cancel the hit upon seeing the journalist is accompanied by his wife and children. Alberto refuses and Tony kills him before he can detonate the bomb. A furious Sosa vows revenge for Tony allowing the journalist to deliver the exposé.
At his mother's behest, Tony, high on cocaine, tracks down Gina and finds her with Manny. Tony shoots Manny dead before learning Gina has just married him. Tony takes Gina to his estate and begins a cocaine binge in his office. Gina accuses him of wanting her for himself. She shoots and wounds him, and is killed by one of Sosa's men whom Tony kills in return. Sosa's men invade the grounds and kill Tony's guards, including Chi-Chi, as Tony takes a rifle with a grenade launcher to the invaders, killing many, but suffering gunshot wounds. He taunts his attackers until an assassin shoots him in the back with a shotgun. Tony's body falls from the balcony into the pool, near the base of a globe with the motto "The World Is Yours".
