Old Prison Movie (1960-1980's)?

I'm trying to remember a prison movie I watched a couple of years ago. Can't remember who is in the movie but some parts of the movie are the following. This guy gets arrested and sentence to a whole lot of years in a foreign country. His father tries at no avail to get him out of prison. All prisoners are mistreated and bully by the prison snitch. Inside the prison he becomes good friends with another inmate. The prison snitch warns the guards of a escape attempt. In one scene his girlfriend comes to visit and exposes her breast to him. I think he starts touching them as the guards come in to end the visit. At the end of the movie he is taken to this room and was going to get rape or beaten by this guard but he manages to kill him. He disguises himself as a guard and walks off the premises of the prison. Once outside he starts running away from the prison and the movies ends.

Old Prison Movie (1960-1980's)?
Yeah, I know which movie you're talking about: "Midnight Express", where Brad Davis' character gets arrested in Turkey for having hidden drugs around his waist - I think he gets caught in the airport, if I'm not mistaken.


The film came out in 1978, was directed by Alan Parker, with a script written by Oliver Stone, and also stars John Hurt as one of the prison inmates.


Hope this helps.
Reply:Midnight Express. It's set in Istanbul
Reply:Sounds like "Midnight Express" with Brad Davis (1978)
