Om denne filmen

In this harrowing true-life adventure, young American Billy Hayes (Brad Davis) is arrested in Turkey after he's caught smuggling hashish. Taken to a brutal Turkish jail where the prisoners must fend for themselves, he meets many other inmates, including an American (Randy Quaid), an Englishman (John Hurt), and a Scandinavian (Norbert Weisser). Determined to make an example of him, the court hands down a lengthy sentence, forcing Billy to escape via the "midnight express" in order to save his own life. Brilliant acting, compelling directing and an exhilarating score combine to create a riveting experience that captures audiences with the very first frame. Oliver Stone earned the Academy Award® for Best Adapted Screenplay for his work on this film. Giorgio Moroder won the Oscar® for Best Original Score with title song by Chris Bennett. © 1978 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Esta historia toca fibras profundas del der humano víctima de sus malas decisiones y de un sistema opresor, la recomiendo mucho, la he visto varias veces y no me aburre.

Peliculón, te mantiene atenta hasta el final. ..lastima que el actor principal murió...se merecía un Oscar

Una de las mejores películas que vi en mi vida! Atrapante! Da impotencia por la injusticia, pero la recomiendo.
