Bangkok Hilton (2 discs)
1989, 270 minutes, Rated M
"From the captivity of her childhood, the ultimate prison awaits."
Nicole Kidman stars as Katrina, a young Australian woman whose very life is threatened by the deception of a man she loves.
Rather than return directly to Australia, following an unsuccessful trip to London in search of the father she has never known, Kat changes her ticket home to fly via Bangkok, but a fateful meeting takes place at the airline office. She meets Arkie Ragan (Jerome Ehlers), a devastatingly charming man under whose spell she instantly falls.
An idyllic week follows, recorded by the camera that Arkie has given her as a gift. They return to Bangkok in another fruitless attempt to find Kat's father, but at the airport as they plan to fly home to Australia, 8 kilos of heroin is discovered in the false bottom of the camera case. Katrina is immediately arrested, as Arkie disappears without trace.
Despite declaring her innocence Katrina is imprisoned in the Bangkok Hilton, a notorious prison where she has to fight to survive while awaiting trial.
But fate is about to take a hand and Kat discovers the only one ready to help her escape death in the Bangkok Hilton may be the father she has so desperately sought to find.
