Hayes was a young American student sent to a Turkish prison for trying to smuggle hashish out of Turkey. The film deviates from the book's accounts of the story, especially in its portrayal of Turks, and some have criticised this version, including Billy Hayes himself. Later, both Stone and Hayes expressed their regret about how Turkish people were portrayed in the film. The film's title is prison slang for an inmate's escape attempt.

But both the book and the movie were very damaging to U.S.-Turkish relations. Americans, as with most people, are only too willing to blame foreigners for their problems.

He’s used to wandering the world perfecting thrills, his heart immune to commitment. But then a commission in repressive North Korea exposes him to emotions he’s never dared to feel. Tour guide Min has a soul that wants to soar, but she knows it’s safer to build walls around her heart and mind. Skilled in showcasing the mesmerising beauty of capital city Pyongyang without revealing its darker secrets, she introduces Theo to a country he will never forget―and begins to question her policy of quiet compliance. Hayes καθώς περνούν οι ώρες, οι μέρες και τα χρόνια που περνά στη φυλακή αρχίζου��ε και εμείς να ωριμάζουμε μαζί του και να αναγνωρίζουμε τον αγώνα που δίνει ο ίδιος με τον εαυτό του αλλά και με όσους τον περιβάλλουν προκειμένου να καταφέρει να ξεφύγει από ένα μέρος που κυριολεκτικά τον πλακώνει και του δημιουργεί ένα αίσθημα ασφυξίας. Ο εγκλεισμός του στις Τουρκικές φυλακές του δίνει το χρόνο να κάτσει να σκεφτεί και να αναλογιστεί τι έκανε μέχρι τώρα στη ζωή του, στον εαυτό του αλλά και στους δικούς του ανθρώπους και να αναθεωρήσει πολλά από όσα θεωρούσε δεδομένα στην μέχρι τώρα πορεία του. Η επιθυμία του να βρεθεί και πάλι στο ασφαλές περιβάλλον της οικογένειας του και περιτριγυρισμένος από οικεία πρόσωπα θα τον κάνει να θέσει νέους στόχους για το μέλλον με πρώτο και κύριο την απόδραση του παρόλο που όλοι του λένε να κάνει υπομονή και να εκτίσει την ποινή του. Billy Hayes. Στους τίτλους τέλους παρατήρησα ότι πρόκειται για την αληθινή ιστορία του Hayes και η ταινία βασίστηκε στο αυτοβιογραφικό βιβλίο του το οποίο για κάποιο λόγο δεν είχα διαβάσει μέχρι σήμερα 25 περίπου χρονιά αφού είδα την ταινία.
