Midnight Express (1978) is a gripping tale inspired by the true story of Billy Hayes, an American college student who finds himself in a nightmare when he is apprehended and given a 30-year prison sentence by Turkish officials for attempting to smuggle hashish out of the country. The film follows Billy (portrayed by Brad Davis) as he endures the brutal conditions of the Turkish prison system. A ray of hope emerges when Billy's father (Billy Kellin) travels from the United States to try and secure his son's release. However, when these efforts prove futile and the prison's harsh environment becomes unbearable, Billy decides to take matters into his own hands. He plans a daring escape, aiming to board the "midnight express"—a term used in prison slang for a daring escape to freedom.
