Scarface. Giorgio Moroder

Tony Montana (Al Pacino) manages to leave Cuba during the Mariel exodus of 1980. He finds himself in a Florida refugee camp but his friend Manny Ribera (Steven Bauer) has a way out for them: undertake a contract killing and arrangements will be made to get a green card. He's soon working for drug dealer Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia) and shows his mettle when a deal with Colombian drug dealers goes bad. He also brings a new level of violence to Miami. Tony is very protective of his younger sister Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), but he is impatient and wants it all however, including Frank's empire and his mistress Elvira Hancock (Michelle Pfeiffer). Once at the top however, Tony's outrageous actions make him a target and everything comes crumbling down.

The score incorporates elements of disco, post-disco and synthrock. Giorgio Moroder employed music as a material to conduct performances, experiences, and energies whose symbolic function and textural weight are elucidated by the aural materiality of its soundtrack. The main synthesizers used by Moroder for the Scarface soundtrack were the Roland Jupiter-8 and the Yamaha CS-80. The main theme, "Tony's Theme", is inspired by, or more precisely a transcription of "The Cold Song", act three of the opera King Arthur by Henry Purcell.
