Dave Mustaine said in the live megadeth dvd "Rude Awakening" that this song is about a movie called "Papillon" he says it right before he plays the song.

Yes, this song is directly influenced by the movie 'Papillon' (Butterfly in French), starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. In turn, 'Papillon' is the autobiography of Henri Charriere, one of the only people to successfully escape from Devil's Island.

Not that I expect many people to care, just some insight into the source material by just another film student :)

I think it's pronounced pa-pill-iyon :P
