Bangkok Hilton
The story of Kat Stanton (Kidman), an Australian woman searching for her father who, whilst travelling back from London to Australia via Thailand, makes friends with Arkie Ragan (Ehlers), a photographer. Kat is tricked into carrying some luggage through Thai customs for Arkie, only for the police to find drugs in his bag. Kat is sentenced to spend time in the horrific "Bangkok Hilton" prison, where she makes friends with fellow inmate Mandy Engels (Smithers), who has been sentenced to death. Whilst she endures the terrible conditions inside, Kat's lawyer Richard Carlisle (Weaving) and ex-patriot Hal Stanton (Elliott) battle with the authorities to have her freed.
After being imprisoned by the Japanese, Hal Stanton (Denholm Elliot) returned to England in 1946 to face a court martial. He was denounced as a traitor by the British and cashiered.
Kat is thrown into the notorious 'Bangkok Hilton', where she faces the terrifying prospect of a death sentence. As her situation worsens, allies both inside the prison walls and far beyond them fight to keep her hope alive.
Hal and Carlisle race to expose Arki as the drug smuggler who framed Kat, but with time running out, they propose a drastic solution - a jailbreak using an old WW2 escape tunnel.
