Directed by Michael Noer in 2017 based on Charrière's autobiographies "Papillon" and "Banco", this docudrama depicts the life of French convict Henri Charrière, who spent his days in the notorious Devil's Island penal colony and escaped in 1941 with the help of another convict, counterfeiter Louis Dega. Although both adaptations seem great, I like the 1973 version better becasue I love the performances of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.
