Finally released from prison, Carlito Brigante (Al Pacino) has vowed that he will not go back to the life he once had. His move to a new life isn't easy, as Carlito must resist every taunt and every opportunity back into his old lifestyle. He meets up with his old love, Gail (Penelope Ann Miller) who shows him the person he can be in a happy life, but his good friend and lawyer, David Kleinfeld (Sean Penn) is having problems of his own and would love the help he could gain from the legend known as Carlito.
