Giorgio Moroder's Oscar-winning soundtrack in MIDNIGHT EXPRESS is one of cinema's most dynamic, and it powers every nerve-shredding minute of Alan Parker's true-story thriller!

Billy Hayes is a young American who makes a catastrophic mistake at Istanbul airport and pays for it inside a brutal Turkish prison. When his four-year sentence balloons to 30, he starts planning the only way out.

Irene arrives in New Orleans to reconnect with her estranged brother Paul, the two having grown up apart in foster homes. Around the same time, a black panther begins terrorising the city, its appearances uncannily linked to Paul's absences.

A remake of the 1942 original, CAT PEOPLE is as hypnotic as it is horrifying, in large part thanks to Giorgio Moroder's captivating score.
