Background: The United States stopped military aid to Turkey in 1974. As a work that ends with a successful escape from prison, the film does not focus too much on this process, but rather concisely and directly shows how the inhumane and cruel Turkish government treated prisoners in that turbulent situation. story. About the technique: Although there are many good parts, the most powerful one is that the same-sex part imitates Renei's "Love Song and Love Song" to a great extent about the...

I remember that I watched this person's documentary, which was narrated by myself, and the difference with this film is not too big or two. The personal experience was more dramatic, and the result was even worse. He was divorced in prison, and his wife left with the...

The same thing happened to Stone's screenwriter. The front procrastinated to death, and the jailbreak in the back seemed too hasty to be convincing. John Hunter's role is clearly to look like Dustin Hoffman in...

It's a little uncomfortable to be curious and to demonize Turkey in the script, but I felt that the prison situation was really copied throughout the whole process! John Hurt's acting was...

Thirty years ago, the film chemistry between Alan Parker and Oliver Stone has affected today's "Prison Break". Similarly, whether the American imperialist view of humanity and law can still continue to affect our thinking, the world outside the movie is complicated , it's a bigger prison without any Midnight Express to...

Roger Ebert's film review translation
★★★ (Four stars for full score) It is said that the real Billy Hayes was arrested by Turkey in 1970 and imprisoned on charges of trying to smuggle marijuana out of the country. He is guilty. He was initially sentenced to 3 to 5 years in prison, but then the Turkish authorities decided to try him on...

The originator of prison escape movies?
You must add the label of 1978 to evaluate this film fairly, because "Shawshank's Redemption" is too jewel in the front.
I like this dark but very textured picture, Turkey, Istanbul, full of ancient mystery Elements, the shots of several city glimpses are very fascinating. I
don’t know if this film...

[she reaches Billy in line]
Susan: Nervous?
Billy Hayes: No.
Susan: Geez, I hate flying.
Billy Hayes: It's something I ate. I think I've been poisoned.
Susan: Or you're just excited about getting home.
Billy Hayes: No, I think it's the baklavas.
Susan: I told you not to eat 'em.
Billy Hayes: Look, I gotta go to the john again. You go on through and I'll catch up to you, OK?
Susan: So I'll wait.
Billy Hayes: No, go. I'll... I'll catch up to you. I'll... I'll only be a minute. OK? OK?
Susan: OK.

Mr. Hayes: All right, Billy. I know it sounds tough, but - we are going to get you out! I promise you. I don't want you to get stupid and pull anything. They can play with your sentence. All right. Now, I'm putting 500 dollars in the bank. Anything you need, you write. There's food here. There's candy. And there's writing paper. Books. Cigarettes. Soap. Toothbrush.
[Empties bag onto table, slams it down]
Mr. Hayes: I've been writing insurance policies for 30 goddamn years and now I've got to see my own son - Jesus. Jesus! Billy, if I could be where you are... I'd be there.
Billy Hayes: I love you, Dad.
