Throughout the course of the pilot and the rest of the season, flashbacks to Michael’s plotting are shown with notes on the case against Lincoln, on the prison and it’s surrounding areas with notes or phrases that don’t seem to make any sense until Michael reveals it. He then arrives at Fox River and awaits an opportunity to see Lincoln. At the trial, he pleads guilty and requests to be sent to Fox River where the officials are none the wiser that Schofield and Burrows are related. Michael ‘robs’ a bank, bringing a gun into the bank, demanding money and waits for the police to arrive. Season 1 is primarily set in Fox River as Schofield looks to enact his plans to escape with Lincoln Burrows. It is clear that Michael had doubted Lincoln’s innocence but his own research into the case changes his mind and he decides to take action. Every detail of Michael’s plan is very intricate and precise as it is revealed throughout the first season and mixing that with a variety of characters makes for entertaining viewing. His brother Michael Schofield, who took his mother’s surname, then gets himself arrested in order to break Lincoln out with the belief that he is innocent. He is sent to the Fox River State Penitentiary to await his execution. Lincoln Burrows is arrested for the murder of the Vice-President’s brother, Terrence Steadman, for which Burrows is sentenced to death.
The original story of Prison Break is a simple and clear-cut plot. So, for those who may be interested, what was Prison Break all about? These cliffhangers genuinely left you wondering what would happen next, usually revolving around a piece of information that puts a character’s plans in jeopardy or the arrival of a character at an unwanted time.
During it’s run from 2005-2009, I’d make sure to watch the latest episode because the previous episode almost always ended on a cliffhanger. On the whole, Prison Break is a series I remember fondly. The original 4 seasons are available to watch on Netflix, so for those of you who have never seen the show, is it worth watching?
The reports gave no suggestions of any returning characters although there is a vast amount that can still be done with some other characters even if their circumstances were neatly wrapped up at the end of season 4.
There have been rumours of a potential new series of Prison Break which will reunite the two main characters Michael Schofield and Lincoln Burrows, Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell respectively.
