A prisoner detained on a remote island plots his escape. This is a remake of the 1973 film of the same name, which starred Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. The original was nominated for an Oscar and Golden Globe. The remake was filmed in various locations around Europe.
Papillon is an effectively stark prison escape (and survival) adventure with solid performances, but only digs so deep into its themes and characters.
