The premise is deceptively simple but executed with surgical precision. Michael Scofield, a brilliant structural engineer, intentionally gets himself incarcerated at Fox River State Penitentiary. His goal is to break out his brother, Lincoln Burrows, who is on death row for a crime he didn't commit. The catch? Michael has the blueprints of the prison hidden within an intricate full-body tattoo.
The core of the season is as emotionally gripping as it is technically brilliant. Structural engineer Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) intentionally gets himself incarcerated at Fox River State Penitentiary to save his brother, Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), who has been framed for the murder of the Vice President’s brother and faces execution.
