The true story of Billy Hayes, an American college student who is caught smuggling drugs out of Turkey and thrown into prison. Directed by Alan Parker, this movie shows the horrors of being thrown in a foreign prison. The insane asylum inmates sure looked like that they were actual patients/inmates. The realism of the set designs, the wardrobes, the makeup sure looked like a LIVE documentary, and I mean this in the most high of a compliment. Director Parker left no stone unturned to churn out this scary, classic that gave many of us nightmares for days on end. This classic did win TWO Oscars: 1) Best Screenplay from none other than the famous OLIVER STONE! 2)Best Music, Original Score by Giorgio Moroder. That haunting heartbeat background non-diegetic sound kept me on the edge of my seat!Read full review

One of my favorite movies of all time. Brad Davis should have won the Academy Award for his role played in this movie. If you want nail biting suspense and drama this is the movie you need to watch. Admire his endurance on that horrible prison and how he kept his sanity at the end to be able to flee that hell on earth.
