Papillon is a 2018 American action adventure biographical film directed by Michael Noer. Henri Charrière (Charlie Hunnam) is wrongfully convicted of murder in France in the 1930s and must serve a life sentence in the infamous penal colony of St. Laurent in French Guiana. On the way, Papillon encounters the strange Louis Dega (Rami Malek), a convicted counterfeiter. After defending him from attack by other prisoners, they make an agreement: Dega is now under Papillon's protection, in return funded Dega Papillons escape attempts. Over time, a deep friendship develops between the two men, helping them to survive the heavy work service and sadistic treatment of the guards, which always gives them the strength not to give up.
