Based on autobiographical novel "Papillon", published in France in 1969, the film tells the story of two prisoners trying to escape a penal colony in Guiana. The mystery drama is directed by Michael Noer.
"Papillon" follows the epic story of Henri "Papillon" Charriere (Charlie Hunnam), a safecracker from the Parisian underworld framed for murder.
