Just saw this movie on TV (i've seen bits before, but just watched it in it's entirety). I can see the controversy regarding how Turkish people were portrayed in this movie. But that's just hollywood...the liberal white guy always rules, wins, leads and all the people of color(black, native american, asian, latino) are marginalized. However I loved Billy Hayes' determination, against all odds and all alone, he escaped a Turkish prison. I love the "story".....

@Nikita0156 this was one of my favorite movies growing up...one of the more powerful movies oliver stone has made albeit not 100 percent accurate...i was looking for this theme music for years and years but never was able to find it because it did not exist until you tube...i hope u enjoyed listening to it as it truly captured the mood of the movie..one of the greatest themes of all time

@antaresofscorpius EVERY brown person (ie: Turks) portrayed in this movie (even his lawyer) is either corrupt, bumbling, sadistic, or a rapist. Even the real Billy Hayes says there was violence in the prison, but he never saw guards raping someone and he was never raped. Oliver Stone took some negative and racist liberties here. White guy victim/hero and Turks all of them bad. I like this movie. Young Billy Hayes is adorable, however I do see a racist undertone in this film.

@Nikita0156 i don't see your point, au contraire, i think here white ones are the one who get fucked.... literally.... i really can't see your point

I'm glad someone had the idea to make this :) you could tell Giorgio's version is completely off lol and any other version is false therefore I'm glad the real theme is here ^^

This is one of the best film scores I've heard. I prefer the movie version than the soundtrack.

Yeah, very true story. Told by Hayes, written by a Jewish Writer and acted by Armenian actors. The Turkish language spoken in the movie wasn't even proper Turkish. A VERY real story, I agree.
