Episode 074 - Midnight Express (1978)
Mar 29, 2017
Episode 074 of The Stinking Pause classic movie review podcast. This week Scott and Charlie take a look at Alan Parker's 'Midnight Express' starring Brad Davis and John Hurt.
Billy Hayes (Brad Davis) is a young American caught by Turkish
police while attempting to smuggle hash out of Istanbul. He's tried
and sent to prison for four years, where he endures all manner of
privation and abuse. As he finishes up his time, he's shocked to
learn that the Turkish High Court has added a further 30 years to
his sentence. He is now thoroughly demoralized, and his life in
prison grows increasingly unbearable until he concludes that escape
is his only option.
