About the Papillon 💬


Franklin J. Schaffner's superb yet brutal film of PAPILLON united two stars - Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman - at key career junctures.

''Welcome, to the prison colony of French Guiana, whose prisoners you are and from which there is no escape.''

  • For Papillon survival was not enough... he had to be free.

They called him Papillon, meaning ''butterfly.'' If only he had wings to go with the name.

  • Two men with nothing in common but a will to live and a place to die.

Unable to fly, Henri ''Papillon'' Charrière (Steve McQueen) virtually willed himself free. He persisted until he did the impossible: escape Devil's Island.

Determined to escape, Papillon forms an unlikely relationship with the frail but notorious forger Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman), who reluctantly joins in the attempt. Despite the brutal conditions and constant threats of betrayal, Papillon leads a desperate escape off the island.
