Prison Break premiered on Fox in 2005 and became a sleeper hit almost overnight. Created by Paul Scheuring, the series follows Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), a brilliant structural engineer who robs a bank to get himself incarcerated at the notorious Fox River State Penitentiary. His mission? To break out his older brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), who is on death row for a crime he didn’t commit.
