Directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, Papillon tells the harrowing true story of Henri “Papillon” Charrière (Steve McQueen), a safecracker wrongly imprisoned on Devil’s Island. Enduring brutal conditions and solitary confinement, Papillon clings to his dream of escape, forming a deep bond with fellow prisoner Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman). A gripping tale of friendship, survival, and the indomitable will to be free.
