The premise of Prison Break is brilliantly simple yet endlessly intricate. After his brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), is wrongfully convicted of murdering the U.S. Vice President's brother and sentenced to death, brilliant structural engineer Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) formulates an impossible plan.

The show's pilot episode wastes no time establishing the stakes. Michael robs a bank and requests to be sent to the Fox River State Penitentiary—the very prison where his brother awaits execution.

He also faces dangerous threats, such as the sadistic corrections officer Brad Bellick (Wade Williams) and the cunning, unpredictable predator Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell (Robert Knepper).
