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

(Muse Watson), a man Michael believed to be the infamous skyjacker

D.B. Cooper. On the outside, Michael's only ally was his defense

ultimately escaped from Fox River. The prison break had its

consequences, however - Michael was forced to betray his father

(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
