About The Show
MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Wentworth Miller, “The Human Stain”) is a desperate man in a
desperate situation. His brother, LINCOLN BURROWS (Dominic Purcell, “John Doe,”
“Blade: Trinity”), is on death row and scheduled to die in a few months for a
murder Michael is convinced Lincoln did not commit. With no other options and
time winding down, Michael holds up a bank to get himself incarcerated alongside
his brother in Fox River State Penitentiary. Once he’s inside, we learn that
Michael – a structural engineer with the blueprints for the prison – has hatched
an elaborate plan to break Lincoln out and prove his innocence. Senior
correctional officer BELLICK (Wade Williams, “Collateral”) offers some prison
wisdom as Michael arrives. Then, with the help of his cellmate, SUCRE (Amaury
Nolasco, “Mr. 3000”), Michael begins to align himself with a disparate group of
prisoners, including former mob boss JOHN ABRUZZI (Peter Stormare, “Fargo,”
“Minority Report”) and CHARLES WESTMORELAND (Muse Watson, “I Know What You Did
Last Summer”), a man some believe to be the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper. On
the outside Michael has only one ally, his defense attorney and longtime friend,
VERONICA DONOVAN (Robin Tunney, “The Craft,” “End of Days”) – who is Lincoln ’s
former girlfriend. Meanwhile, Lincoln ’s 15-year-old son, LJ (Marshall Allman),
is now adrift without his Uncle Michael’s positive influence. Rounding out the
cast are Sarah Wayne Callies (“The Celestine Prophesy”) as prison doctor SARA
TANCREDI, whom Michael ends up visiting more often than he should, and Stacy
Keach (“Titus,” “Mike Hammer”) as the powerful WARDEN POPE, who forges a close,
almost father-son relationship with the new convict. This intriguing new series
promises to reveal additional pieces of the puzzle each week as Michael carries
out his daring plan to mastermind the ultimate PRISON BREAK – and solve the
far-reaching national-scale conspiracy that landed him there in the first place.
