Prison Break

This little gem has sneaked under the wire.

LOL - get it? Prison Break, sneaked under the wire... boom boom - LOL! Ok so I'm, no comedian.

It started with a guy, Micheal Scofield, being tatooted all over his body with a most elaborate design. Then we see him commit a crime during which he gets himself arrested. His plan is to locked up in the same prison as his brother. Big deal, I hear you shout! Hey, but the twist is his brother, Lincoln Burrows, is sentenced to death for killing the presidents brother and Micheal (the one who got himself locked up) is a structural engineer who helped design the prison. No-one knows who he is (except Lincoln). Micheal's elaborate plan is to break himself and Lincoln out of prison and prove that his brother has been framed for the murder.

As he struggles to put his plan in place we see the normally law abiding man learning the hard way about life in prison. The story unfolds in flashbacks along with the audience being given little tasters of conversations where the real people involved in the original crime make plans to bump off the girlfriend who is asking questions. There's a feeling of the involvement of high powered people who control CIA/FBI types.

It's very well done. If you tune in at this stage you will still be able to keep up with what's gone on before. All told a very nice piece of television.
