Prison Break
“Just have a little faith.”
Creator
Paul T. Scheuring
When his brother Lincoln is framed for murder and sentenced to death, structural engineer Michael Scofield hatches an audacious plan: get himself deliberately imprisoned in the same penitentiary, the very facility he once helped design. Armed with the prison's blueprints tattooed across his body, Michael must recruit unlikely allies, outwit ruthless inmates and guards, and stay a step ahead of a vast political conspiracy. Every stolen minute and improvised gambit inches the brothers closer to a breakout that could free them or get them killed. Tense, intricate, and relentlessly plotted, the series turns a ticking-clock escape into a sprawling thriller of loyalty and survival.
