Midnight Express

The desperate plight of real-life American drug smuggler Billy Hayes - portrayed by the excellent Brad Davis - makes for haunting viewing in Alan Parker's first-rate prison drama. After being caught taking hash through Istanbul Airport, Hayes was handed a life sentence in a notoriously harsh Turkish slammer. He learns to survive with the help of fellow inmates, including John Hurt's drug-wasted Max. Often hard to watch, even harder to forget.
