Midnight Express

A young American is caught smuggling drugs out of a foreign country and receives a devastating prison sentence. As appeals offer uncertain hope, he endures brutal conditions, forms uneasy friendships, and searches for any possible route back to freedom.

My take

You’ll like this if you want an intense, disturbing prison drama with memorable performances and escalating tension; Not for you if outdated stereotypes, graphic brutality, or morally difficult protagonists are deal-breakers.
