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
