內容講述法國青年「亨利o查萊爾」在廿五歲時被誣告謀殺且被判終身監禁，在法屬圭亞那魔鬼島監獄內渡過了十三年鐵窗生涯。綽號"巴比龍"的亨利，他胸膛上的蝴蝶紋身正好標誌著他那追尋自由的理想，他雖然身陷囹圄，並且經歷兩次長時間的單獨禁錮，但他壯志未頹，最終也能逃出生天，重獲自由，並且在臨終之前看到這部描述他一生事蹟的電影面世。

本片在70年代耗資1,400萬美元在加勒比海拍攝，製作人員盡是業界精英，導演弗蘭克林o沙夫納(Franklin J. Schaffner)曾經憑"鐵血將軍巴頓"一片奪得奧斯卡最佳導演獎項，他同時與羅拔o杜夫曼(Robert Dorfmann)攜手合作，出任本片監製，杜頓o特林寶(Dalton Trumbo)和羅倫素o森普(Lorenzo Semple, JR.)兩人根據查萊爾的傳記改編成本片劇本，泰迪o列治蒙(Ted Richmond)是本片的執行監製，至於悅耳動聽的主題曲，則是著名作曲家謝利o高史密夫 (Jerry Goldsmith)的不朽作品。

史提夫o麥昆(Steve McQueen)飾演主角巴比龍，德斯汀o荷夫曼(Dustin Hoffman)飾演他獄中的好友迪加，兩人在片中盡顯他們精湛的演技，令觀眾嘆為觀止!

巴比龍的歷史

故事的主角「亨利?查萊爾」在62歲時親筆寫下他的經歷，他曾經是個大盜，也曾經是個犯人、逃犯、夜總會的東主，他將自己的往事筆錄轉交出版商，並附上便條說"這是我的經歷，請找專業人士代我編寫"。

出版商並沒有作出修改，把原文刊印成「巴比龍」一書，於1969年5月在法國面世，"巴比龍"是查萊爾的綽號，因為他的胸膛有一隻蝴蝶紋身，那是自由的象徵，該書引起傳媒廣泛討論及讚賞，其後更被翻譯成14種語文，自1969年推出至1974年期間，銷量高達1,700萬冊，單在英國已售逾100萬冊。

影片經籌備兩年，在歐洲及加勒比海的小島展開拍攝工作，全片耗資高達1,400萬美元(包括購買小說的電影版權費)投資龐大，反應亦如小說般成功!

本片雖然被譽為史上最偉大的逃獄電影，但有部份論者卻批評本片太過誇張，更有書評人指查萊爾的經歷超越人類的極限，但查萊爾堅稱"絕無渲染"，一切屬實，"巴比龍"的故事表達人類的無比勇氣與及追求自由的慾望，這也是引起公眾反響的主要原因。

導演弗蘭克林o沙夫納表示，影片主題是講述"巴比龍"和"迪加"為了不人道的待遇而掙扎，為了身陷囹圄和自由而掙扎這情況不單發生在魔鬼島監獄內，這也是人類的本性。

查萊爾於1906年在法國的羅訥村出生，他在年青時曾捲入一宗夾萬爆?案，在1931年，這個25歲的小伙子在一宗謀殺妓院老闆案中被捕，罪名成立被判終身監禁，但他一直否認控罪，指摘警方捏造證據，直至1973年去世也沉?未雪。

他被判終身監禁，被送往法屬殖民地的監獄內囚禁，人在異鄉，身處熱帶森林，飽受毒蛇及蚊蟲侵襲，食住欠佳，身染瘧疾也未獲治療，令他萌生逃獄之念，他入獄六星期後便首次逃獄，雖然未能成功，且被處罰，但仍無阻他的逃獄壯志。

他雖然慘遭毒打，捱盡饑餓，更被囚禁黑房，但最終也能逃出生天，找到自由。

片中主角渴求自由的性格，吸引史提夫?麥昆接受片約而麥昆本人的性格及過去經歷也是導演挑選他出任主角的原因，他絕對是不二之選。

麥昆表示，我的名字也應該叫"巴比龍"

他也曾是反叛的青年，在從事演藝工作之前，曾經做過不同行業，包括在希臘油輪及德州的油田內當小工。

麥昆說過：我為人好奇，不斷追求新鮮事物，我不可以，也不會受人制肘，我看完「巴比龍」一書後也感同身受，他本應擁有自由，但卻成為階下囚，他的自然反應是"我要離開這鬼域!"

THE GREATEST ADVENTURE
OF ESCAPE EVER FILMED!

FOR PAPILLON
SURVIVAL WAS NOT ENOUGH…
HE HAD TO BE FREE.
巴比龍不單希望苟且偷安
他要追求自由!

APPRAISAL

The incredible life of Henri Charriere, confined for thirteen years in the famous penal settlements of French Guiana and Devil's Island, is the subject of the new Columbia Pictures release, Papillon, starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.

Nicknamed "Papillon" because of the butterfly (symbol of freedom) tattooed on his chest, Charriere devoted his entire energies to escape and suffered savage punishments - including two long periods of solitary confinement - before he finally made it to freedom.

His experiences, from the time he was sentenced to life imprisonment at the age of 25 for a murder he always protested he hadn't committed, became an international best-seller. His courage, self-discipline and indestructible spirit triumphed over all the inhumanities heaped upon him and he survived to see the film of his life in production before his death last year.

Steve McQueen, in one of his finest screen portrayals, plays the title role with Dustin Hoffman as his fellow prisoner and friend, Dega.

The multi-million pound production, filmed in Panavision on locations in the Caribbean, was directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, who won an Academy Award for his direction of "Patton". Schaffner also co-produced the film with Robert Dorfman, from a screenplay by distinguished writers Dalton Trumbo and Lorenzo Semple Jnr. Based on Charriere's book. The executive producer was Ted Richmond and the stirring music for the film was written by Jerry Goldsmith.

More than a year was spent in researching the film and set construction, and over 1,000 extras were used for scenes of the convicts boarding the ship to be transported to the colony.

Co-starring with McQueen and Hoffman are some of the screen's most respected character actors, including Victor Jory, Don Gordon and Anthony Zerbe, together with a beautiful newcomer to films, Eurasian actress Ratna Assan, who plays the Indian girl who befriends Papillon during one of his escapes.

FEATURE MATERIAL
THE PAPILLON PHENOMENON

At the age of 62, ex-safecracker, ex-convict, ex-fugitive, ex-nightclub owner Henri Charriere took up a new career. He wrote a book - in large, sprawling longhand on lined, school exercise paper and sent it to a publisher with the simple note: "These are my adventures, have a professional re-write them".

The publisher, to his credit, did nothing of the sort. He produced the book exactly as Charriere had written it. Papillon (Charriere's nickname because of the butterfly - symbolic of freedom - tattooed on his chest) went on sale in France in May, 1969, and became an instant literary sensation.

It was praised extravagantly, attacked viciously, discussed universally in all the media. Since then it has been translated into 14 languages and has sold more than 17 million copies, including well over a million copies in Britain.

Now, re-released by VII Pillars Entertainment, Papillon is on the screen with two of Hollywood's biggest names in the leading roles - Steve McQueen as Charriere, and Dustin Hoffman as his friend and fellow convict, Dega.

The film had an Academy Award winning director, Franklin J. Schaffner, and cost a little over 14 million dollars which included the film rights and the cost of nearly two years preparation before filming started on locations in Europe and the Caribbean.

But the huge investment has proved sound: the film is repeating the same, almost incredible, international success as the book.

The story must be regarded as the greatest adventure of escape ever filmed, yet Charriere's account of his experiences has been criticized in some circles as being "too bizarre" and a handful of the book's critics felt that no man could have experienced so much.

Charriere always persisted, however, that:: "There is nothing embroidered. Everything is rigorously true. If I have lied, it is by omission." And most people who met him believe this is the truth.

What is important is that Papillon is a story of man's courage and his relentless pursuit of freedom in spite of overwhelming odds. And this is where its universal appeal exists.

Says director Schaffner: "Its theme is illustrated by Papillon and Dega exploring the struggle between destructive inhumanity and compassion, between imprisonment and freedom - not just in Devil's Island, but in man's own nature.

Charriere was born in 1906 in a village in the Rhone Valley. By his late teens, he had drifted into the Paris underworld with something of a reputation as a safebreaker. At the age of 25 in 1931, he was arrested for the murder of a pimp, a crime he absolutely denied until his death in 1973, claiming the evidence was rigged against him by the police.

Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colonies - a forgotten man in a hostile country covered by equatorial forest, infested with snakes and poisonous insects, and forced to labour in malarial swamps without proper food, housing or medical attention - his one passion was escape. His first break was made only six weeks after arriving and despite savage punishments he continued to plan and execute escape bids.

He suffered beatings, starvation, humiliation and monstrously long periods in solitary, but still Papillon had to be free.

It was the man's character, his need to live free or not at all, that attracted Steve McQueen to the part and McQueen's own personality and career were a factor in Schaffner choosing him as the first and only actor for the role.

"My name could have been Papillon, too," says McQueen, whose early brushes with the law as a rebellious youngster led him to a variety of jobs which included working on a Greek oiltanker, in the Texas oilfields, as a tree-topper and a dozen other occupations before taking up acting.

"I kept being driven by a restless feeling - looking for something I couldn't find - not knowing what it was but always with a sense I couldn't and shouldn't be confined," says McQueen.

"That's what I felt in common with Papillon when I read it. He had to be free and suddenly found himself imprisoned. His natural reaction was 'I gotta get out of this damned place?'"
