Based on William Hayes' autobiography, "Midnight Express" tells the harrowing story of a young American tourist arrested by Turkish authorities for trying to struggle two kilos of hashish out of the country.

He sees a glimmer of hope when his father arrives from the States with the intention of securing Billy's release.
