- Trial Scene in the film "Midnight Express" (1978) directed by Alan Parker. The main actor is Brad Davis as "Bill Hayes".
In this scene, Bill learns that his sentence is overturned by the Turkish High Court in Ankara after a prosecution appeal (the prosecutor originally wished to have him found guilty of smuggling and not possession), and he is ordered to serve at least a 30-year term for his crime.
Midnight Express is a 1978 American film directed by Alan Parker and produced by David Puttnam. It is based on Billy Hayes's 1977 book and was adapted into the screenplay by Oliver Stone. It starred Brad Davis, Irene Miracle, Bo Hopkins, Paolo Bonacelli, Paul L. Smith, Randy Quaid, Norbert Weisser, Peter Jeffrey and John Hurt.
Hayes was a young American student sent to a Turkish prison for trying to smuggle hashish out of Turkey. The movie deviates from the book's accounts of the story -- especially in its portrayal of Turks -- and some have criticized the movie version, including Billy Hayes himself. Later, both Stone and Hayes expressed their regret on how Turkish people were portrayed in the movie.

BEST FILM EVER MADE
I miss you Brad...Love this movie!!!

It would've been nice if the Turkish dialogue was subtitled TOO! There used to be some VHS releases with the turkish also subtitled, but since then no DVD, TV or NETFLIX version I've seen had subtitles for the Turkish.
