Description: 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 Charriere's bestseller and shot in Spain and Jamaica, Papillon united two stars at key career junctions.
