Plot Summary
The cocaine trade of the '70s and '80s had an indelible impact on contemporary Miami. Smugglers and distributors forever changed a once-sleepy retirement community into one of the world's most glamorous hot spots, the epicenter of a $20 billion annual business fed by Colombia's Medellin cartel. By the early '80s, Miami's tripled homicide rate had made it the murder capital of the country, for which a TIME cover story dubbed the city "Paradise Lost."

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: A hyperventilating account of the blood-drenched Miami drug culture in the 1970s and 80s.
Fresh: As sensational as Scarface and a lot livelier than that Miami Vice movie.
Fresh: This is an ugly film, but with an undeniable allure.
Fresh: If The Godfather movies were based on real gangsters and some of them were still around to talk about the good old days, they might be as fascinating as the characters in Billy Corben's documentary about the cocaine import business in 1970s Miami.
