EditPapillon (2018)

Being a remake of the 1973 film starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman, “Papillon” tells the incredible story of a French murder convict. Henri Charrière (Charlie Hunnam), nicknamed "Papillon", was unjustly imprisoned in 1933 but managed to escape in 1941, thanks to the financial support of another convict, Louis Dega (Rami Malek). They were both detained on a colony on the Devil’s Island in French Guiana, South America. While Charrière and Dega disliked each other at first, later, in the colony, they decided to become allies and regain their freedom. The cooperation between the two convicts was not only successful, it led to something equally precious as freedom is – an everlasting friendship.
