Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is an inmate on death-row for the killing of the brother of the Vice President of the United States, a murder he vows he did not commit but only...
more...his brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) believes him. Michael takes the extreme action of getting himself arrested. With the blueprints of the jail disguised in a tattoo that encompasses his body, Michael attempts to create a support network in prison that will allow his brother and himself to escape. Fellow prisoners looking to escape and willing to help Michael and his brother include ex-mob boss Abruzzi, C-Note, Sucre and T-Bag. Despite having bonded with prison governor Pope (Stacey Keach), Michael has attracted the suspicions of the menacing Captain Bellick (Wade Williams). Meanwhile, on the outside the brothers' childhood friend and lawyer Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney) works to uncover the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. PRISON BREAK first aired in 2005 and quickly became hugely successful around the world thanks to the tension filled, beat-the-clock storyline and cunning plot twists, making it an intriguing combination of the prison drama OZ and the real-time secret service drama 24. Features all 22 episodes of the first season.

Prison Break .. how hard can it be?
Review of Prison Break - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) by danmclovin

Advantages: It's brilliant!
Disadvantages: It comes to an end!

Prison Break is definitely my favourite on-going tv series at the moment. From the very first episode, I found myself fixated with the show, and I can honestly say that I can barely remember even seeing a single bad episode, and the series has completed it's third season by now. Season 1 was created by Paul Scheuring, and Season 1 first aired in 2006, on Channel 5, and has since become one of the most popular tv shows both in the Us and here in the ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic, best series I've ever seen!
Disadvantages: None whatsoever!!!

Quick review of Prison Break - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set)
Review of Prison Break - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) by Alan-RMFB

This has been the best Drama to come out of America ever. The characters are great and you'll be happy for them when good happens and sad when something bad happens. This is a great DVD and you'll be hooked to it. I couldn't wait to watch the next episode when it was on tv but now I can watch it as often as I wish. You won't be disappointed if you're after a good drama that you won't be able to stop watching

Sensational and highly addictive series! Love it !
Review of Prison Break - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) by annabelseaton

Advantages: Sensational and highly addictive series. Outstanding performances of prison life and the struggle to get out !
Disadvantages: Bit unbelievable - but who cares ?

...in charge of refurbishing the prison several years ago, so he has access to detailed blueprints. He redesigns the plans as an intricate tattoo that covers his entire upper body. He then commits a halfhearted armed robbery, pleads guilty, and has himself shipped off to Fox River. Of course, getting into Fox River is much easier than getting out - he has to navigate not only the prison but winover some nasty characters and get them to work together. ... Read review

The show never really took off on British screens, but the first two seasons were broadcast on Channel 5, with it moving to Sky One for season 3. Season one is the best of the bunch and is full of ideas and action that will have you coming back for more and more.
