We start the film with Billy Hayes [Brad Davis] strapping two kilos of drugs to himself in a low lit room. He then heads to the airport in Turkey with his girlfriend attempting to catch a flight home. He makes it through baggage claim with no issues even though he looks quite suspicious. When the passengers arrive at the plane they find armed guards checking the passengers one-by-one, turns out there have been several bombed planes in the last week and Hayes didn't bother to turn on the news. He is caught, and almost shot until they realize that it is "just drugs" and not a bomb.
Thanks to the help of the American consulate, he is told that he can be let go if he can lead them to the person that sold him the drugs. Hayes decides to make a break for it instead and is caught trying to run. He is given four years for possession, but the system is corrupt, and 4 years is long enough for them to re-try him for the smuggling a week before his sentence is up and is given life. To this point he has been patiently waiting for his release, but this changes everything. His mental state changes drastically and his goal of escape solidify.
A rare 10/10 for me, I would be happy to add this to my home collection, and if you haven't seen it... you should.
