Description
Henri "Papillon" Charrière (Steve McQueen), a safecracker wrongly convicted of murder, is shipped to the French penal colony in Guiana. Accompanied by counterfeiter Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman), Papillon endures brutal imprisonment and repeated escape attempts across Devil's Island and the South American mainland. Based on Henri Charrière's bestselling autobiography, Franklin J. Schaffner's epic survival film stands as one of the great prison pictures, defined by two indelible performances and Jerry Goldsmith's haunting score.
