They called him 'Papillon', meaning "butterfly." If only he had wings to go with the name. Unable to fly, Henri Charriere virtually willed himself free. He persisted until he did the impossible: escape Devil's Island.
Synopsis: Lengthy, graphically realistic adventure film about petty criminal's attempt to escape from Guyana prison. Has a strong following. Pleases fans of historical drama, those who enjoy break-out escape films.
