After making such small-budget thrillers such as(1973) and(1976), De Palma was offered the chance to direct a film based on thenovel "Carrie". The story deals with a tormented teenage girl who finds she has the power of telekinesis.

His next major success was the controversial, ultra-violent film(1983). Written byand starring, the film concerned Cuban immigrant Tony Montana's rise to power in the United States through the drug trade. The film, while being a critical failure, was a major success commercially.
Moving on from(1983), De Palma made two more movies before landing another one of his now-classics:(1987), starring old friend 'Robert de Niro' in the role of Chicago gangster Al Capone.

After(1987), De Palma made the Vietnam film(1989) starringand. The film focuses on a new soldier who is helpless to stop his dominating sergeant from kidnapping a Vietnamese girl with the help of the coerced members of the platoon. The film did reasonably well at the box office, but it was his next film that truly displayed the way he could make a hit and a disaster within a short time.(1990) starred a number of well-known actors such asand, yet it was still a commercial flop and earned him two Razzie nominations.
But the roller coaster success that De Palma had gotten so far did not let him down. He made the horror film(1992), and the criminal drama(1993) starringand. The latter film is about a former criminal just released fromthat is trying to avoid his past and move on. It was in the year 1996 that brought one of his most well-known movies.
