Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is an inmate on death-row for the killing of the brother of the Vice President of the United States, a murder he vows he did not commit but only his brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) believes him. Michael takes the extreme action of getting himself arrested. With the blueprints of the jail disguised in a tattoo that encompasses his body, Michael attempts to create a support network in prison that will allow his brother and himself to escape. Fellow prisoners looking to escape and willing to help Michael and his brother include ex mob boss Abruzzi, C-Note, Sucre and T-Bag. Despite having bonded with prison governor Pope (Stacey Keach), Michael has attracted the suspicions of the menacing Captain Bellick (Wade Williams). Meanwhile, on the outside the brothers' childhood friend and lawyer Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney) works to uncover the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. PRISON BREAK SEASON 1 PART 1 ended on the eve of the group's escape attempt with their plans beginning to disintegrate and the second part of the season details the result of the group's attempt to break free. PRISON BREAK first aired in 2005 and quickly became hugely successful around the world thanks to the tension filled, beat-the-clock storyline and cunning plot twists, making it an intriguing combination of the prison drama OZ and the real-time secret service drama 24. Features episodes 14-22 of the first season.

Loved it!
A ludicrously far-fetched plot, more 'prison' stereotypes than you can shake a stick at and a ridiculously handsome lead character. What more do you need? This was fantastic TV, but on DVD it's even better, without endless ad breaks and waiting! It's gripping and hugely enjoyable - if you missed it on TV, watch it all in one go now!
I can only agree with the other review here, this is so over the top that you are not so sure it is going to work and yet it is so so so good!! If all the men in prison in the US are this hot then I will have to go over there and break some of them out!! Gripping, tense, funny, it has it all. Don't ask questions about the reality of what is going on, just lose yourself in the total over-the-top-ness of it all...
