Best Answer

The film Midnight Express (1978) was based on the events experienced by American Billy Hayes, who was sent to a prison in Turkey for trying to smuggle hash out of that country. Hayes wrote a book about it, but the film deviated from the book and upset the Turkish authorities for painting such a brutal picture.

The title Midnight Express, is a slang term for a prison escape attempt.
