Midnight Express is a 1977 nonfiction book by Billy Hayes and William Hoffer about Hayes's experience as a young American who was sent to a Turkish prison. The US had declared a "War on Drugs" in the early 1970s, and Hayes was made an example of for trying to smuggle hashish out of Turkey. When his sentence was extended to 30 years, he decided to make his escape. The book was adapted by Oliver Stone and directed by Alan Parker into a 1978 feature film of the same name that took many liberties with the book.

  • Fuga di mezzanotte è un libro di Billy Hayes e . Il libro descrive la vera storia del giovane statunitense Billy Hayes, che viene arrestato e incarcerato in Turchia per contrabbando di hashish e condannato prima a 4 anni e due mesi di prigione, e poi all'ergastolo. Il libro ha ispirato l'omonimo film di successo del 1978, diretto da Alan Parker con Brad Davis nel ruolo di Hayes. Nonostante il grande successo ottenuto dalla pellicola cinematografica, lo stesso Hayes ha puntualizzato che alcune cose viste nel film in realtà non sono mai accadute e che il film ha descritto in modo esageratamente negativo la situazione delle carceri turche, ammettendo che anche lui stesso, nel libro, avesse forse enfatizzato troppo le vicende più crude avvenute in carcere.
