from The Stinking Pause Podcast

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.
