Midnight Express

Istanbul airport, 1970. For Billy Hayes, waiting to board the pane that will take him home do America, a living nightmare is about to begin.

Billy is arrested for drug smuggling, tried, and sentenced to thirty years in a Turkish prison.
This is the astounding true story, told in Billy Hayer’s own words, of five shockingly brutal years spent in incarceration.
