You can go back with a 1978 classic film in high definition this July.
Midnight Express will be released on Blu-ray on July 21. We don't have any cover art at this time, but the new BD disc will be priced at $38.98 SRP and will also come with a new booklet. We'll be sure to update this story with the cover art as soon as it becomes available. The film stars Brad Davis, Randy Quaid and John Hurt.
Brad Davis and John Hurt star in this riveting truestory of a young American's nightmarish experiences in a Turkish prison and his unforgettable journey to freedom. Busted for attempting to smuggle hashish out of Istanbul, American college student Billy Hayes (Davis) is thrown into the city's most brutal jail. After suffering through four years of sadistic torture and inhuman conditions, Billy is about to be released when his parole is denied. Only his inner courage and the support of a fellow inmate (Hurt) give him the strength to catch the
Midnight Express... and escape his living hell.
