Subscribe FreeWinner of two Academy Awards® for best adapted screenplay and best score, "Midnight Express" tells the true story of Billy Hayes' nightmarish experience in a Turkish prison. Caught in the Istanbul Airport with two kilos of hashish taped to his body, the American college student (Davis) first receives a four-year sentence, during which he endures sadistic torture from the brutal chief guard, Hamidou (Smith). Yet, he courageously awaits his release. Then, with only days remaining on his term, the High Court, as a lesson to the rest of the world, extends his sentence to 30 years—a ruling that breaks him both physically and spiritually. Based on the book by William Hayes with William Hoffer. (Gary Reber)
