The character of "Scarface" was fictionalized in two notable works:
* The 1932 film "Scarface" based on the novel "Scarface" by Armitage Trail, was inspired by the real-life Chicago Outfit gangster Al Capone. However, the character in the film is not directly based on Capone, and the story is mostly fictional.
* The 1983 film "Scarface" directed by Brian De Palma, is also a fictional story, though inspired by the 1932 film. It portrays a Cuban drug lord named Tony Montana who, like Capone, rises to power through violence and eventually meets a violent end.
While some aspects of these films may be based on the criminal activities of real gangsters, the characters themselves are not real individuals.
