Synopsis
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 Devils Island.
Based on Charrieres bestseller and shot in Spain and Jamaica, Franklin J. Schaffners film of Papillon united two stars at key career junctions. After a decade of fine work in The Great Escape, The Sand Pebbles, and Bullitt, Steve McQueen found in Charriere another ideal tough-guy role. Coming off The Graduate, Midnight Cowboy, and Little Big Man, Dustin Hoffman again distinguished himself as Dega, Charrieres scruffy friend.
