Story: A French convict in the 1930s befriends a fellow criminal as the two of them begin serving their sentence in the South American penal colony on Devils Island, which inspires the man to plot his escape.

A semi-fictional account of s time in the penal system in French Guyana - some of it spent on infamous Devils Island - is presented. Its the early 1930s. Charrière - nicknamed Papillon because of his butterfly tattoo - and Louis Dega are two among many who have been convicted in the French judicial system, they now being transferred to French Guyana where they will serve their time, never to return to France even if they are ever released. A safe-cracker by criminal profession, Papillon is serving a life sentence for murdering a pimp, a crime for which he adamantly states he was framed. Dega is a wealthy counterfeiter, who expects his well-to-do wife eventually to get him released. At Papillons initiative, the duo enters into a business arrangement: Papillon will provide protection for Dega, who, in turn, will finance Papillons escape attempt. As the two men spend more time together than either had expected, their burgeoning friendship ends up being an important factor altering their original plans, needed as they work with and against others who are trying to achieve their own goals, sometime conflicting with those of Papillon and Dega.

Convicted as a murderer by the French court, safe-breaker , alias Papillon because of the colourful butterfly tattoo adorning his chest, is left to rot in a penal colony somewhere in the heart of French Guiana. Sentenced to life imprisonment, before long, strikes a mutually beneficial deal with fellow inmate, Louis Dega, Frances most infamous counterfeiter, and starts planning their escape. Then again, plans often fail, and a lifetime of back-breaking prison labour, solitary confinement, and inhuman conditions await those who contemplate escape. But man is born free. And resilient, life-thirsty Papillon is determined to get away at all costs and live life to the fullest. However, what is the price of freedom?
