Several of the month and date cards shown in the movie are inaccurate, especially in the last third of the film. The movie displays Billy Hayes' decent into an almost complete vegetable-state based on how the Turks treated him. In Hayes' Midnight Express book, he does not suffer the mental hardship and physical abuse as shown in the movie. In contrast, the book talks more about the filthy conditions at the prison, not about Hayes' decaying health or any issues with the Turkish people.
