Billy Hayes is caught attempting to smuggle drugs out of Turkey. The Turkish courts decide to make an example of him, sentencing him to more than 30 years in prison. Hayes has two opportunities for release: the appeals made by his lawyer, his family, and the American government, or the "Midnight Express".

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Midnight Express is a harrowing biographical crime drama focused entirely on drug smuggling, imprisonment, and escape in Turkey. There are no discernible Christmas settings, plot drivers, thematic links, or iconic elements associated with the holiday."
