PRISON BREAK
A "breakout" success in its premiere season, garnering Golden Globe
nominations for Best Television Series-Drama and Best Performance by
an Actor in a Television Series-Drama (Wentworth Miller), as well as
winning the People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama, PRISON
BREAK returns for its exciting second season where the escaped
convicts learn that breaking out of prison was the easy part.
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 death row, a desperate
MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Wentworth Miller) staged a daring bank robbery in
order to get himself incarcerated with Lincoln. Michael, an engineer
with access to the prison's structural design, 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 THEODORE "T-BAG" BAGWELL (Robert
Knepper), the well-connected BENJAMIN "C-NOTE" FRANKLIN (Rockmond
Dunbar) and old-timer CHARLES WESTMORELAND (Muse Watson), a man
Michael believed to be the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper.
On the outside, Michael's only ally was his defense attorney and
Lincoln's former girlfriend VERONICA DONOVAN (Robin Tunney), who
protected Lincoln's targeted teenage son LJ (Marshall Allman).
Veronica's quest for the truth led straight to the White House, to
power-hungry Vice President CAROLINE REYNOLDS (Patricia Wettig), who
assumed the mantle of the Presidency in a deadly coup - and whose
brother, in secret, is very much alive.
Overcoming many setbacks, Michael, Lincoln and six other inmates,
including pickpocket TWEENER (Lane Garrison) and the mentally unstable
HAYWIRE (Silas Weir Mitchell), ultimately escaped from Fox River. The
prison break had its consequences, however. Michael was forced to
betray his father figure, Warden HENRY POPE (Stacy Keach); prison
doctor SARA TANCREDI (Sarah Wayne Callies), who was instrumental in
the escape plan and had romantic feelings for Michael, relapsed with
drugs and overdosed; LJ was arrested for murder; 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 FBI agent ALEXANDER MAHONE (William Fichtner),
who is haunted by his own demons; vengeful prison guard Captain BRAD
BELLICK (Wade Williams), who, driven by his own personal vendetta,
will also stop at nothing until the escapees are captured or killed;
and Secret Service Agent PAUL KELLERMAN (Paul Adelstein), who, under
President Reynolds' orders, will do anything to keep the truth about
the conspiracy very much a secret.
PRISON BREAK is an Adelstein-Parouse Production in association with
20th Century Fox Television. Paul T. Scheuring, Matt Olmstead, Kevin
