Midnight Express is a harrowing story based on true events.

Brad Davis delivers an outstanding performance with great supporting roles from John Hurt, Randy Quaid. It was an adapted Screenplay written by Oliver Stone which won him his first Oscar.

Georgia Maroda (spelling)soundtrack is really riveting as the ‘chase’ scene unfolds.

This is a movie that will stay with you for life.

They say that ‘Midnight Express’ did to Turkeys tourism, what ‘Jaws’ did to bathing in the sea.

Highly recommended.
