ย Prison Break (2005), created by Paul Scheuring, follows Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), a structural engineer. He plans to rescue his brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), from prison. Lincoln is facing the death penalty for a crime he did not commit.
Michael intentionally gets himself arrested and enters Fox River Prison to save his brother. He uses his knowledge of architecture to plot an escape. His tattoos contain hidden plans and blueprints. Michael forms alliances with fellow inmates, some of whom have their own motives. Tensions rise as corrupt prison guards and dangerous criminals challenge their plans.
The story deepens as the brothers uncover a conspiracy involving powerful figures. They confront a mysterious group, “The Company,” who control their fates. Prison Break combines clever plotting with emotional struggles, loyalty, and sacrifice. Although later seasons introduce new settings, the stakes remain high.
