Following the death of his employer and mentor, Bumpy Johnson, Frank Lucas establishes himself as the number one importer of heroin in the Harlem district of Manhattan. He does so by buying heroin directly from the source in South East Asia and he comes up with a unique way of importing the drugs into the United States. As a result, his product is superior to what is currently available on the street and his prices are lower. His alliance with the New York Mafia ensures his position. It is also the story of a dedicated and honest policeman, Richie Roberts, who heads up a joint narcotics task force with the Federal government. Based on a true story.Synopsis - Scarface (1983) Al Pacino stars in this epic Special Edition DVD as the unforgettable Tony Montana, one of the most ruthless gangsters ever depicted on film. Directed by hit-maker Brian DePalma and produced by Martin Bregman who brought both Godfather legends to the screen, Scarface follows the violent career of a small-time Cuban refugee hoodlum who guns his way to the top of Miami's cocaine empire. With its intense screenplay by Academy Award Winner Oliver Stone, driving musical score by Giorgio Moroder, and superb insights into Miami's Latin lifestyle, Scarface joins the ranks of Hollywood's greatest underworld dramas, as it lays bare the sordid power of the American drug scene.Synopsis - Casino (2 Disc Special Edition) (1995) Danger, Power, Seduction. Welcome to Las Vagas 1973. Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and Joe Pesci star in Director Martin Scorese's riveting look at how blind ambition, white-hot passion and 24-carat greed toppled an empire. In an era of over-the-top glitz, Sam "Ace" Rothstein (De Niro)is riding high as front man for the Mob's multi billion dollar Las Vagas operation. To protect their 'investment', the bosses send in Ace's boyhood pal, hot-headed enforcer Nicky's muscle- until sexy wild card Ginger McKenna (Stone) turns up the heat. This gripping, fact-based tale boasts extraordinary performances, a sizzling soundtrack and a dizzying look beneth the glamorous facade, beyond the clsed doors and behind the eyes of the men and women whose fortunes-and lives-were made and lost with a roll of the dice.
