PRISON BREAK
Convinced that his wayward brother LINCOLN
BURROWS (Dominic Purcell) was
wrongly convicted of the sensational murder of the Vice President’s brother,
which landed him on Fox River State Penitentiary’s death row, a desperate
MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Wentworth Miller)
attempted a daring bank robbery in order to get himself incarcerated in Fox
River with Lincoln.
Michael, an engineer with access to the prison’s structural design, then
masterminded an elaborate plan to free Lincoln
by pulling off the ultimate PRISON BREAK.
Aided by an intricate tattoo of the prison’s
blueprints covering his upper body, Michael aligned himself with his lovelorn
cellmate FERNANDO SUCRE (Amaury Nolasco),
former mob boss JOHN ABRUZZI (Peter
Stormare), homicidal pedophile “T-BAG” (Robert Knepper), the well-connected “C-NOTE” (Rockmond Dunbar) and CHARLES WESTMORELAND (Muse Watson), a man Michael believed to be the infamous skyjacker
D.B. Cooper. On the outside, Michael’s only ally was his defense attorney and Lincoln’s former girlfriend VERONICA DONOVAN (Robin Tunney), who protected Lincoln’s targeted son LJ
(Marshall Allman). Veronica’s quest
for the truth led straight to the White House, Secret Service Agent PAUL
KELLERMAN (Paul Adelstein) and the
power-hungry Vice President, CAROLINE REYNOLDS (Patricia Wettig), whose brother, in secret, is very much alive.
Overcoming many setbacks, the brothers and six
other inmates ultimately escaped from Fox River.
The prison break had its consequences, however – Michael was forced to betray
his father figure, Warden HENRY POPE (Stacy
Keach); prison doctor SARA TANCREDI (Sarah
Wayne Callies), who was instrumental in the escape plan and had romantic
feelings for Michael, relapsed with drugs and overdosed; and Westmoreland died
of injuries sustained in the escape, but not before revealing that he was
indeed D.B. Cooper – and providing a clue to where he had hidden over $5
million in cash.
Outside the prison walls, the escape truly
begins as the convicts race for their lives – and the hidden cash –while trying
to avoid capture by the authorities. The pursuers are led by vengeful prison
guard Captain BRAD BELLICK (Wade
Williams), who, driven by a personal vendetta, will stop at nothing until
the escapees are captured or killed.
PRISON BREAK is executive-produced by Brett Ratner (“X Men: The Last Stand,”
“Rush Hour”), Paul Scheuring, Matt Olmstead, Marty Adelstein, Dawn Parouse and
Neal Moritz.
