Papillon

[Machine Translation] Based on the true-life experiences of author Henri Charriere, "Papillon" is the story of a 13-year prison escape by a life-sentenced inmate. Based on this novel, Franklin J. Schaffner, the master director of "Planet of the Apes" and Dalton Trumbo, the screenwriter who was called a heretic in Hollywood, adapted this masterpiece of a prison break into a film, and now, 45 years later, it has been revived! The role of Papillon, played by Steve McQueen in the original film, is played by popular actor Charlie Hunnam, who has appeared in "Pacific Rim" and many other films. Dustin Hoffman's counterfeit money-making genius Degas is played by Rami Malek, who won the Academy Award (R) for Best Actor for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in the record-breaking hit "Bohemian Rhapsody". The two charming actors in the lead roles are a must-see! The attractive co-starring cast includes Eve Hewson, the daughter of U2 Bono, who has appeared in many high-profile films, and the famous playwrights Laurent Moller and Tommy Flanagan! The film is directed by up-and-coming director Michael Noer, with a top-notch staff including the screenwriter of "Prisoners" and the producer of "The Wolf of Wall Street". <Paris, 1931> The end of "The Age of Madness". A man called "Papillon" because of the butterfly tattoo on his chest is sentenced to life in prison for a crime he did not commit and sent to Devil's Island in French Guiana. Surrounded by the sea, the island is known as an inescapable place, where prisoners are deprived of their human rights and subjected to harsh forced labor. In a place where despair and death reign, Papillon struggles to find freedom and hope. He meets Degas, a banknote counterfeiting genius who shares his ambition, and the two eventually form a strange friendship.
