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.

This is an amazing film that should be seen by your average movie lover to film school student. Brilliant acting, directing, character development and palpable terror. It's also based on a true story. Glad its finally on Blu ray!
This was Oliver Stone's first screenwriting job that when initially assigned, no one had any expectations for. He eneded up winning Best Screenplay at the Academy Awards.
