Description:

"Midnight Express" chronicles the harrowing true story of Billy Hayes, an American student who finds himself entangled in the criminal underworld of Turkey. As he tries to smuggle drugs out of the country, he is caught and thrown into a brutal justice system determined to make an example of him. Facing a 30-year prison sentence, Hayes' only hope for freedom lies in the appeals from his lawyer, his family, and even the American government. Yet, as time stretches on, he discovers another potential route: the infamous "Midnight Express" – an escape route fraught with danger and uncertainty. This gripping drama explores themes of survival, hope, and the stark contrast between two very different legal systems as it follows Hayes in his desperate quest for freedom against all odds.
