Billy Hayes is caught attempting to smuggle drugs out of Turkey. The Turkish courts decide to make an example of him, sentencing him to more than 30 years in prison.

Movie Reviews:

  • Bazzjazz: Midnight Express is a harrowing story based on true events.

    Brad Davis delivers an outstanding performance with great supporting roles from John Hurt, Randy Quaid. It was an adapted Screenplay written by Oliver Stone which won him his first Oscar.

    Georgia Maroda (spelling)soundtrack is really riveting as the 'chase' scene unfolds.
    This is a movie that will stay with you for life.

    They say that 'Midnight Express' did to Turkeys tourism, what 'Jaws' did to bathing in the sea.

    Highly recommended.
