Charlie Hunnam  (King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Sons of Anarchy) and Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) forge the most cunning alliance to escape the most guarded and brutal prison in their latest thrilling movie “Papillon”.

Best-selling book on prison literature now a movie - “PAPILLON”

Based on the international best-selling autobiographical books “Papillon” and “Banco,"  Papillon follows the epic story of Henri “Papillon” Charrière (Charlie Hunnam), a safecracker from the Parisian underworld who is framed for murder and condemned to life in the notorious penal colony on Devil’s Island. Determined to regain his freedom, Papillon forms an unlikely alliance with quirky convicted counterfeiter Louis Dega (Rami Malek), who in exchange for protection, agrees to finance Papillon’s escape.

Filled with shocking details about life in one of the world’s most hellish environments, Charrière’s autobiographical novel became a global bestseller when it was first published in 1969 and remains a modern classic in the genre of prison literature.
