Prison Break

Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is sentenced to death for a murder he did not commit, and his brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) devises an elaborate escape plan: that is the premise of Prison Break, an American action thriller series created by Paul Scheuring. Fox first aired it on August 29, 2005. Fox rejected the project in 2003 but backed it in 2004, and the first season was extended by nine episodes.

Michael, a structural engineer, tattoos the prison blueprints on his body and gets himself jailed in Fox River State Penitentiary. His cellmate Sucre and the prison doctor Sara Tancredi join the plan unknowingly, while outside, attorney Veronica Donovan works through the law and agent Paul Kellerman's inquiry hints at a conspiracy. The cast includes Sarah Wayne Callies, Amaury Nolasco, Robert Knepper, Paul Adelstein and Rockmond Dunbar. After the breakout, the brothers fight an organization called the Company.

The series runs five seasons and 90 episodes; the third was cut to 13 episodes instead of 22 by the writers' strike. It ended on May 15, 2009, and a nine-episode fifth season aired in 2017. Ramin Djawadi's music earned a 2006 Emmy nomination. In Turkey it aired on CNBC-e, then dubbed on Star TV as Büyük Kaçış.
