Structural engineer Lincoln Burrows is on death row for a murder he didn’t commit—the killing of the Vice President’s brother. With his execution date fast approaching, all hope seems lost. That is, until his younger brother, Michael Scofield, stages a bank robbery to get himself incarcerated at the same maximum-security prison: Fox River State Penitentiary.
As the escape plan faces relentless obstacles—lockdowns, a sadistic guard named Captain Brad Bellick, and the threat of execution—the brothers race against time. The season culminates in a gripping, high-stakes prison break, where not everyone makes it over the wall. The final shot leaves the eight escapees on the run, finally free—but hunted, wounded, and trapped in a world far more dangerous than the one they just left behind. prison break season 1 synopsis
