Brad Davis (The Player, Chariots of Fire) and John Hurt (Contact, Alien) star in this riveting truestory of a young American's nightmarish experiences in a Turkish prison and his unforgettable journey to freedom. Busted for attempting to smuggle hashish out of Istanbul, American college student Billy Hayes (Davis) is thrown into the city's most brutal jail. After suffering through four years of sadistic torture and inhuman conditions, Billy is about to be released when his parole is denied. Only his inner courage and the support of a fellow inmate (Hurt) give him the strength to catch the "Midnight Express" ... and escape his living hell.

Outstanding filmWhen I saw this film, I immediately started enjoying it. The music is very mystical and triumphant as well. Very original. I think this is Brad Davis's best role as well. He had so much passion and emotion in the film. Im sorry to say, but whenever I think of Billy Hayes, I think of Brad Davis. His performance was superb. The screenplay is also great, very good. Written by Oliver Stone, who is a great screenplay writer and director (film directed by Alan Parker, not Oliver Stone). The end of the film is so inspiring, it was like I was with Billy Hayes throughout the movie. I love this movie..Score: 5/5

Left Wanting MoreI watched the film as a youth and hated the Turks. Rewatched and my opinion of the main character changed. The arrogant American and deserved sentence of smuggling drugs and flaunting the laws of another country, the Turk are actually the better people as the prison conditions could have been far worse. Overall, the pace and acting of the film was extremely well done, but the last 15 minutes was suddenly rushed to finish with no intensity.

Pусский
В основу этой драмы легли реальные события из жизни американского гражданина Билли Хейса. За незначительное правонарушение он был приговорен турецкими властями к беспрецедентно большому сроку. Хейс оказался в мире, где всем правит насилие и ненависть, где любой новый день может оказаться последним. Там, в тени безысходных стен, среди заключенных, родилась легенда о «полуночном экспрессе». Так несчастные называли таинственный поезд, который каждую ночь проходит где — то рядом с тюрьмой и на котором можно спастись…

Detta är den sanna historien om Billy Hayes. En naiv, ung amerikan som försökte smuggla ut några gram hasch ur Turkiet, och blev dömd till 30 års fängelse. Men det är inte vilket fängelse som helst han hamnar i. Tortyr och misshandel övertygar honom att det enda sättet att överleva detta är att fly... Följ med på en resa till helvetet, där man degraderas till ett djur och ingen vet om man kommer att överleva till nästa dag. Filmen fick två välförtjänta Oscar. I huvudrollen ser vi BRAD DAVIS.

Bár Billy tisztában van azzal, hogy az életével játszik, rászánja magát az "éjféli expresszre", ami a börtönszlengben szökést jelent. Az új barátai a segítségére sietnek. Billy Hayes és William Hoffer könyve alapján.

1970년 10월 6일, 터키 이스탄불(Istanbul, Turkey). 애인 수잔(Susan : 아이렌스 미라클 분)과 여행 중이던 21살의 미국 청년 빌리 헤이즈(Billy Hayes : 브래드 데이비스 분)는 겁없이 마약 밀매를 시도하다가 터키 이스탄불 공항에서 체포당한다. 터키 경찰의 끊없는 회유와 협박이 이어지고, 마약을 건내준 택시 운전사를 만나러 가다, 감시가 소홀한 틈을 타 도망쳐보기도 하지만 결국 붙잡혀 국제 범죄자들만을 수감하는 특수 교도소 '사그말실라'에 갇힌다. 추위를 피해 담요를 훔치던 그는 고문실로 끌려가 잔인한 간수장 히미두(Hamidou : 폴 스미스 분)에 의해 발바닥을 구타당하고, 며칠 후 겨우 정신을 수습하지만 걷기조차 힘들다. 같은 미국인 지미 부스(Jimmy Booth : 랜디 퀘이드 분)와 맥스(Max : 존 허트 분)의 도움으로 겨우 걸음을 걷기 시작하면서, 빌리는 그 둘의 친구가 된다. 한편, 공작새를 개 대신 기르는 리프키(Rifki : 파올로 보나셀리 분)는 마약.담요 등을 팔아 돈을 모으는 악덕 밀고자다. 지미는 회교 사원에서 촛대 두 개을 훔치고 수감되었고, 에리크(Erich : 노버트 웨이서 분)는 마약 소지로 12년을 선고받았으며, 맥스는 수감된지 7년이 돼가는 최고참이다. 얼마 후 아버지(Mr. Hayes : 마이크 켈린 분)의 면회를 받고, 곧 재판이 열지지만, 검사(Prosecutor : 케보크 말리콴 분)는 터키를 경유하는 마약 운반이 국가의 명예를 실추시켰다며 빌리에게 종신형 선고를 주장하는데, 그의 변호를 맡은 부도덕한 변호사 예실(Yesil : 프란코 디오제느 분)에 의해 결국 4년형이 선고된다. 한편, 맥스는 빌리에게 여기서 나갈 수 있는 가장 '현명한' 방법인 '탈옥'('미드나잇 익스프레스)'을 제안하지만, 빌리는 20개월 남았다며 거절한다. 결국 혼자 지붕으로 탈출을 시도하던 지미는 붙잡혀 매을 맞아 탈장에 고환까지 잃고 수개월간 요양소에 있다 돌아온다.

Aresztowany podczas próby przemytu haszyszu, amerykański student Billy Hayes (Brad Davis) osadzony zostaje w jednym z najcięższych więzień w Istambule. Przez cztery lata znosi sadystyczne tortury i nieludzkie traktowanie. Ma wyjść na wolność, lecz decyzja o jego zwolnieniu zostaje nagle cofnięta. Tylko dzięki niezwykłemu hartowi ducha i wsparciu współwięźnia (John Hurt) udaje mu się przetrwać i zdobyć się na odwagę, by złapać tzw. "midnight express" (takie określenie nosi bowiem w więziennym slangu "ucieczka").

У підсумку він був засуджений до 4 років в'язниці. Він терпляче виносив всі митарства, поки за 53 дні до виходу випадково не дізнався, що йому збираються збільшити термін ще на 30 років.

български език
Този изтъкан от противоречия филм разделя публиката на два противоположни лагера: едните го смятат за една от най-силните житейски драми в света на киното, а другите са противници на манипулативното изкривяване на фактите за постигането на желания ефект. И двата лагера обаче - независимо от отношението им към режисьора Паркър и сценариста Стоун - са единодушни, че постигнатият ефект е велик. През 1970 г. американецът Хейъс (в незабравимото изпълнение на покойния Брад Дейвис) е арестуван на истанбулското летище заради опит да изнесе зад граница два килограма хашиш. За притежание на наркотици го осъждат да лежи 4 години в адски турски затвор, но впоследствие присъдата е удължена и до 1975-а, когато все пак успява да избяга, Хейъс е подложен на невъобразима бруталност и мъчения.

日本語
アメリカと中東諸国との間で緊迫した国際情勢が続いている70年代、アメリカ人旅行者ビリー・ヘイズはイスタンブール空港からアメリカへ麻薬を運び出そうとしていた。だがこの時、彼は麻薬不法所持、密輸の罪でトルコ当局に逮捕され、現地の刑務所に投獄されてしまう。恐怖と寂寥感に苛まれるも、所内で出会った2人のアメリカ人ジミーとエリックに励まされていくビリー。ところが、駆けつけてきた父や弁護士、アメリカ領事館の助けを借りて挑んだ裁判で、4年の刑を宣告されてしまう。

Lietuvių
Tikrais įvykiais paremtas pasakojimas apie amerikietį studentą Williamą Heyesą, kuris iš Turkijos mėgino išvežti 2 kg narkotikų partiją bei buvo atsitiktinai sučiuptas prie pat lėktuvo ir pateko į šios šalies kalėjimą – pragarą, kuriame eilinė nauja diena galėjo tapti paskutine. Iš pradžių jis buvo nuteistas ketveriems metams, bet vėliau ši bausmė buvo padidinta iki 30 metų, todėl, kad turkams labai reikėjo pavyzdinio atvejo - kalbant paprasčiau, - atpirkimo ožio. Jaunuolis kentėjo kalėjimo prižiūrėtojų sadistinius pasityčiojimus, žiaurius sumušimus, karantiną purvinoje ir šlapioje kameroje ir t.t. Jis su viltimis laukė savo advokato, tėvų ir JAV vyriausybės pagalbos, tačiau Turkijos teismas buvo nesukalbamas. Williamui beliko vienintelė išeitis - "Vidurnakčio ekspresas". Šiuo terminu kaliniai apibūdina pabėgimą iš kalėjimo. Nepaprastai stipri istorija ir nuolatinis svirduliavimas tarp beprotybės ir realaus pasaulio.

Română
Billy Hayes e un turist american care se află în Turcia împreună cu iubita lui, Susan, și e prins de oficialități când încerca să facă trafic cu droguri. În mod normal, fapta lui ar fi fost pedepsită cu 4 ani de închisoare, dar autoritățile decid să dea un exemplu, așa că Billy este condamnat să stea 20 de ani în spatele gratiilor. Deși Susan și tatăl lui Billy sunt dispuși să facă orice pentru a grăbi eliberarea lui, în realitate nu prea a mai rămas nimic de făcut. Curând, bărbatul ajunge într-o închisoare infernală unde reușește să câștige încrederea lui Jimmy, Max și Erich, care e atras de Billy, dar acceptă refuzul acestuia. În scurt timp, Billy nu mai suportă situația așa că își face planuri pentru a lua „Expresul de la miezul nopții”, adică să evadeze. Un film bazat pe fapte reale.

The time is the 1950s: seedy Brooklyn private eye Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) is hired by shady Louis Cyphre (Robert De Niro) to locate a pop singer who reneged on a debt. Harry ventures into Harlem, the first step of a Heart of Darkness-inspired odyssey. Each time Harry makes contact with someone who might know the singer's whereabouts, he or she is killed in a horrible, ritualistic fashion; a Satanic cult seems to be at the bottom of all the carnage. Harry solves the mystery, all right. He just didn't know that he had the answer all along -- even before Louis entered his office.
