Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), a petty crook from Chicago, has been tried, convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of the Vice President's brother. The evidence is damning, all appeals have been denied, the government has been railroading proceedings from the outset and Lincoln is left to wait out the last few months of his life in Fox River State Penitentiary, a maximum-security prison. Only one person believes that Lincoln was framed for the crime: his brother, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), a structural engineer, genius and chronic do-gooder. Armed with an incredibly intricate scheme, in-depth intelligence on both the staff and prisoners, cleverly hidden tools and blueprints for the entire prison tattooed on his body, Michael gets himself incarcerated at Fox River in order to break himself and his brother out of prison.Prison Break is an American television series that ran for four seasons on Fox between 2005 and 2009. The series originally concluded with a two-episode finale, which was released as a direct-to-DVD movie in the U.S dubbed Prison Break: The Final Break. The series was later revived for a nine-episode limited event series which aired in the spring of 2017.The first season follows Michael and Lincoln as they assemble an escape team, avoid the suspicions of the prison staff — including Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies), the prison doctor who unexpectedly becomes integral to the scheme and Michael himself — and put Michael's plan into action. Meanwhile, their lawyer friend Veronica (Robin Tunney) tries to uncover the conspiracy that's framing Lincoln. Seasons two through four involved the characters becoming fugitives, breaking out of other prisons and eventually taking on "The Company", a shadowy cabal responsible for framing Lincoln in the first place. The 2017 series, dubbed Prison Break: Resurrection, retconned the Grand Finale in season four, and brought the characters back together once again to take on a rogue CIA faction known as 21-Void. In 2018, a sixth season was announced to be in early development; however, in 2019, Fox announced that they have no current plans for a new season.A Video Game adaptation for the first season was made in 2010 called Prison Break: The Conspiracy.For the trope about breaking out of prisons, see Great Escape.

Anyone Can Die: Can and do. The first unexpected death was LJ's mother Lisa, but from there it just spirals out of control. Out of the main characters, Veronica, Abruzzi, Lechero, Whistler, and Bellick all die while the General ends up on an electric chair. Michael was presumed dead after the events in The Final Break, but the rebooted fifth season reveals that he is still alive.

Ripped from the Headlines: A few instances. There was the flashback episode showing C-Note's service in Iraq, where it's revealed that he was thrown out of the army for trying to expose the torture of inmates at Abu Ghraib. Also, the episode where his daughter becomes seriously ill while he's on the run from the law, and he's forced to take her to a hellish free clinic because he doesn't have health insurance.

Genre Shift
 Prison Break / int_177a6464
comment
Genre Shift: Season 1 is a classic jailhouse drama with a Great Escape plot, and its cast is filled with classic prison Stock Characters. Season 2 is a Stern Chase centered on the characters evading the law, Season 3 is a thriller set in a Hellhole Prison (though with a Great Escape still worked into the plot), and Season 4 is a conspiracy thriller about the characters MacGyvering their way out of scrapes with The Syndicate.

The Stoic: Wyatt. Gretchen. She doesn't have enough of a reaction to being tortured, so General Zavala figures out she's been tortured before and leads credence to Michael's claims. Michael wants to be, and can pull it off nine times out of ten, but he does emote — usually yell or bang his fists — and get visibly stressed out when something really screws with his plans.

Character Tic: Michael twitches/drums his fingers when he's deep in thought. He also has a habit of lightly thumping his head against the wall while waiting for one of his plans to go into motion, though this mostly only happens in season one. He squints his eyes while analyzing an area or a certain situation, too. Sucre speaking Spanish when panicking, although mostly downplayed. Exploited once in Season 4. T-Bag twisting his tongue whenever he thinks of something perverted or of his liking.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Michael has two: one with Linc and one with Sucre. They plan to go separate ways at the end of each season, but they never do, and each trust the other and are willing to do whatever they have to for the other. Sucre tries to separate from Michael a few times, with Michael's blessings, but always seems to come back. To a lesser degree than most cases, Lincoln and Mahone.

Linc occasionally jumps on the mercy bandwagon, too. In Season 4, when Gretchen intends to sell her company, he doesn't pull the trigger despite Self trying to convince him that she deserves it. In the Season 2 finale, when pointing the gun at Mahone, he's unable to kill him. Alex then breaks the deadlock and handcuffs Burrows.

comment
Fingore: When Mahone tortures Wyatt by pushing needles into his fingers, starting from the top of them. The former gives a specific description of the process — whenever the latter starts losing consciousness from literally the strongest pain possible, Alex gives him an electric shock to wake him up. Although we don't see how the first part is done, the final effect — with a needle sticks out of Wyatt's finger — is shown. And hell, we hear the scream and can certainly imagine what it felt like... The way Michael is tortured by Abruzzi's thugs in Fox River — they cut two of his toes off, but John soon realizes it's ineffective and has to think of a different approach to get Scofield to reveal the location of Fibonacci — ideally a lighter one, to say the least...

Framing the Guilty Party
 Prison Break / int_216dab44
comment
Framing the Guilty Party: Michael's ultimate goal is framing Poseidon for the murder that Poseidon framed him for, by planting evidence in his office and recreating the pictures that Poseidon deleted of the crime being committed. From the issues he raises about the evidence, it's pretty obvious that the Director of the CIA is aware this is what Michael is doing, but he still lets him go free after the plot to implicate Michael is confirmed by Poseidon's own accomplice.

Great Escape
 Prison Break / int_2562da69
comment
Great Escape: The first season revolves around an honest-to-god prison break with a cast composed almost entirely of stock characters ripped from classic prison movies, and the second season continues it with the escaped inmates on the run from the FBI. By the end of the second season, the escapees have all successfully evaded the law (the few that survived, at least...) but the writers manage to justify the title by having the main characters all rounded up for random reasons and sent to a new, even worse prison in Panama. Then the final season rolls around, and the whole series morphs into some weird cross between MacGyver and The Bourne Series about the main cast trying to take down some evil shadow corporation using zany schemes whipped together with loot from the Dollar Store.

Bald of Evil: Many of the characters on the show sport either shaved heads or hair that is cut extremely close.

Extremely Short Timespan
 Prison Break / int_281de59f
comment
Extremely Short Timespan: The main story-line of the first four seasons, from Michael robbing the bank in the first episode until his death in The Final Break, takes place entirely between March and November of 2005, with the main portion of the plot during seasons 1-3 actually taking place between mid-April and late June/early July. note Michael is incarcerated in mid-April and the breakout happens in late May. Season 2 covers only a couple weeks, and Season 3 takes place in only a week and a half. Season 4 starts sometime in August (after a three week Time Skip), and actually might cover the longest amount of time out of all of them. This raises some questions about how exactly Sucre's daughter had been born by the beginning of season 4, since only about four months had passed since she'd been conceived.

 Prison Break / int_2c1f1138
comment
He Who Fights Monsters: In seasons 3 and 4, Anti-Hero Michael becomes increasingly fanatical about destroying the Company, while Lincoln takes on a "Violence is the Only Option" mindset, leading them to do things they condemned others for doing only a season or two ago. Michael learned of Sara's apparent murder in season 3 and had a lethal brain tumor in season 4, so he at least had an excuse for his judgment impairments.

Cardboard Box of Unemployment: After Warden Pope discovers burns on Michael, he pins them on Roy Geary, a corrupt guard who'd been shaking down inmates and stealing their possessions for months. The warden searches Geary's locker, finding several stolen items. The next scene is Geary being marched out of the prison, carrying his belongings in a box.

In the first season finale, T-Bag handcuffs himself to Michael so that Abruzzi and the other escapees can't get rid of him. He even swallows the key before it can be taken from him. In the end, Abruzzi frees Michael simply by cutting T-Bag's handcuffed hand off with an ax.

Thou Shalt Not Kill
 Prison Break / int_2f94135c
comment
Thou Shalt Not Kill: Michael fluctuates on this. In the beginning he wouldn't kill anyone. In season four he'd attempt to kill a number of people, but wasn't very good at it. He subverts this in season three, when he deliberately caused someone's death by removing a pin that was supporting the escape tunnel, allowing it to collapse on top of the man. People tend to consider Linc this, ignoring his Back Story, like the flashback to him ramming his car into someone and the number of Mooks he'd killed. Stupidly subverted with some of the other characters. They'll kill any number of Mooks, but will refrain from killing people like the General when they have the chance because Thou Shalt Not Kill, seemingly forgetting they've already killed. What Measure Is a Mook?, indeed. Subverted with Sara. She is the reason Michael refrains from killing, on separate occasions, T-Bag, Christina Rose and the General. Then she kills Christina Rose. And let's not forget in season two she also killed Agent Kim and tried to kill Kellerman.

Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: The gang are all cleared with twenty minutes to go in the last episode. Later, Michael and Sara are walking along the beach and talking about their future, when Michael's nose starts bleeding. The Distant Finale reveals that everyone believes him to be dead, although the rebooted fifth season reveals that he's Not Quite Dead. Happens often throughout the series. Another example is the brothers coming within inches of receiving a presidential pardon in 'Sweet Caroline', only to end up being double crossed and on the run again.

Deceased Parents Are the Best: Zig-Zagged. Michael and Lincoln have fond memories of their mother who died when they were young, and no love at all for their father who abandoned them before Michael was born. Later, they learn that their mother is still alive but abandoned them to go work for The Company without a single regret, and is generally revealed to be a horrible person without a sympathetic bone in her body, while their father becomes a case of Never Speak Ill of the Dead after he tries to make amends and dies in Michael's arms in season two.

Deus ex Machina: Passim — often when the main characters are about to get killed, also in many Mexican standoffs or when one is abducted. Most notably to the plot, though, Kellerman in two instances. First in the Season 2 finale. He brought hard proof of the entire Burrows-conspiracy. Happens again in the Season 4 finale. It's revealed that he was still alive and working with the United Nations, so they clear Michael, Lincoln, Sara, Sucre, C-Note and Mahone's names in exchange for Scylla.

Cold-Blooded Torture
 Prison Break / int_424c9a9b
comment
Cold-Blooded Torture: This happens a LOT. Especially to T-Bag. Used by Mahone on Wyatt. Mahone shoves a needle into Wyatt's finger. He's also connected to a defibrillator that will give him a wake-up call when he starts to fall unconscious due to the pain. The normally completely stoic Wyatt is screaming and wheezing from the crippling pain. Wyatt himself is both a Professional Killer and a Torture Technician for the Company. He repeatedly invades people's homes to slowly torture them for information. He's most thorough with Gretchen, whom he ties up and locks up in a tiny cell with nothing but a bucket for days, occasionally coming back to explain what he's going to do to her next. Gretchen is both a victim and a practitioner of this. She tortures many characters, including Sara, Sofia, and T-Bag. However, she is also waterboarded in Panama and later on held in captivity, where she is physically abused and exposed to degrading smells, and it's severely implied she was tortured multiple times in the past. It is very common for someone to be almost beaten to death, usually as a way to obtain information. Victims include Michael, Sucre, T-Bag, Wyatt and Gretchen.

Worthy Opponent: Mahone to Michael in season two. Michael actually uses this to his advantage in season four after they become allies by sending in Mahone to outsmart Christina Scofield, who prided herself on being able to outsmart Michael. T-Bag thinks he's a worthy opponent to Michael. He does get some moments over Michael (like stealing the money in season two) but overall loses to him.

Paper-Thin Disguise: In season two, the Fox River Eight manage to elude a nationwide manhunt with nothing more than street clothes and the occasional hat. Michael also dons a pair of glasses or a hoodie from time to time. This is probably why they get captured so frequently. Michael is actually an extreme case, as his tattoos are a dead giveaway and he has to spend the entire season in long sleeve shirts (in the middle of summer) so that no one will recognize him and even that doesn't always work.

Gory Discretion Shot: The Grand Finale has this right at the end. Once Jacob realizes T-Bag is his cellmate, we get a wide shot of the prison as we hear prisoners cheer, Jacob screaming, and T-Bag cackling. It's safe to assume whatever happened to Jacob... wasn't pretty to say the least.

Land Mine Goes "Click!"
 Prison Break / int_4c23b50f
comment
Land Mine Goes "Click!": In "The Legend", while looking for a way into the Company's headquarters, Sucre accidentally steps on a land mine which starts beeping. With Sucre unable to move for fear of detonating the mine, Lincoln reluctantly brings in Gretchen who attempts to disarm it. Michael and Mahone decode the blue prints for the defences around the Company HQ and learn the mine is also an alarm and disarming it would alert the Company, so they manage to override the mines, allowing Sucre to safely step off.

Cliffhanger Copout
 Prison Break / int_4dec4b64
comment
Cliffhanger Copout: The first season ends with the main characters being spotted and chased by cops about a hundred yards away across an open field. At the beginning of the second season, they get away by... running. Really fast. And this is coming from a show that ends every commercial break with a cliffhanger. Season 3 ends with Sucre, Bellick, and T-Bag still in Sona; season 4 opens with them having apparently escaped during a riot. It's handwaved with the explanation that there was a three week Time Skip between seasons, but it's still kind of a waste since it had just taken Michael a full season to figure out an escape plan, and they also showed T-Bag working out a way to escape through bribes — although in fairness, Michael managed to escape in only a week and a half, while still avoiding unnecessary attention and casualties, whereas T-Bag simply opted to burn the prison down and tell the prisoners to run because 'they can't shoot all of us'.

The Atoner
 Prison Break / int_4ef92d0b
comment
The Atoner: While Michael was never an actually evil character, he feels regretful for everything he had to do and all the consequences of him breaking Lincoln out of prison, including releasing T-Bag back into society, ruining Sara's life, as well as countless deaths, usually caused by the Company. He spends the entire series trying to get T-Bag arrested again, which he does, only to learn that he, Sucre and Bellick all broke out in Season 4, and his main goal in Season 4 is taking down the Company. After being ditched by the Company and President Reynolds, Kellerman realizes all the things he did for them was in vain. He decides to turn himself in, handing over several documents from the Company, as well as exonerating both Sara and Lincoln in the process, even though he knew he would end up being killed for it — but he was freed by former Aldo Burrows' anti-Company cooperatives, and in the climax of Season 4 he completes his fate as he handles Scylla from Michael to the UN officials, causing an ultimate end to his new nemesis. Bellick — partially in Season 3, very much so in Season 4. Even though occasionally he still wants to escape via the southern border with Sucre as his translator, he realizes his former prisoners fight for a greater cause. His role is vastly exemplified by his tragic death, helping Michael, Linc and Sucre get Scylla.

Artistic License – History
 Prison Break / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: A major plot point in the series is that one of the inmates at Fox River is actually D.B. Cooper, who's been hiding the money from his famous plane heist since 1971. While the mystery of D.B. Cooper's ultimate fate has never been definitively solved, the FBI has long maintained that Cooper probably didn't even survive jumping out of the plane: most eyewitness accounts from the hijacking strongly suggest that he had little (if any) training or experience in skydiving, he jumped without proper equipment (he didn't have a jacket or a helmet, and his reserve parachute was non-functional), and he jumped in rainy and windy conditions that would have been highly dangerous for even a skilled parachutist. Even if he survived the jump itself, he would have found himself stranded in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest with no supplies, and no way to determine his location. The show also claims that Cooper made off with $1 million in ransom money (revealed to be $5 million in reality); it was actually just $200,000.

Plot-Induced Stupidity
 Prison Break / int_57fac831
comment
Plot Induced Stupidity: Michael and company have a few notable instances, which comes off as particularly jarring because Michael is a skilled Chessmaster. Not killing T-Bag and Gretchen repeatedly comes back to bite them in the ass, as do many occasions of them leaving people tied up and injured instead of finishing the job. The double-cross pulled on the team in season four relies on them not checking the paperwork until after Self's long gone — which seems like the first thing they would do after all the times they've been screwed. Everyone thinks they can outsmart Michael Scofield, despite knowing about everyone who previously got into trouble for doing so. Periodically, everyone in the show's universe forgets that the existence of the Company has been publicly proven, and they have to start all over again.

Scale Model Destruction: A major plot point throughout the first season is the Taj Mahal scale model that the warden is building for his wife for their anniversary. The roof is on the verge on collapsing and he has ceased work for the moment. He hears that one of the new prisoners (Michael Schofield, protagonist) is a structural engineer and asks for his help. Schofield initially declines to help, but later needs a favor and gets it by helping the warden. They work on it all season, but it still gets destroyed.

Spanner in the Works
 Prison Break / int_60194b82
comment
Spanner in the Works: Michael has plotted this entire escape out brilliantly and perfectly...only to find out the hard way that life has a habit of throwing wrinkles into things. Michael assumed he could just win over Abruzzi by offering the location of a witness against him after they escape. He doesn't expect Abruzzi to simply order his goons to torture Michael for the information. A major part of the plan is how Michael is convinced Westmoreland is legendary hijacker D.B. Cooper and his hidden money is key to the escape. Too bad Westmoreland has a perfect alibi for when Cooper's hijacking took place. subverted as a dying Westmoreland does confess he was indeed Cooper. The initial escape looks to be going great and just like Michael planned...until he discovers that the water pipe that he weakened to create the escape tunnel has been replaced by a new and stronger pipe that's impossible to break through. Michael had planned just a minor distraction for the initial escape...only for it to turn into a full-blown prison riot. During which, T-Bag stumbles onto the plot and forces his way on the team which creates numerous spanners down the road. The gang track down the money Westmoreland/Cooper buried long ago...only to find the area is now a housing development. And to top it off, the house the money is buried under belongs to a woman whose police office daughter drops by for a visit while the gang are holding her hostage. A constant spanner in season two is Mahone, the one FBI agent whose mind is quirky enough to figure out what Michael is up to and be on his tail far faster than Michael expected the FBI to be. The biggest spanner is that Michael had no idea he was going up against a powerful conspiracy. He lampshades he had planned a simple breakout for a man wrongly imprisoned, not taking on a force who have the Vice-President on their side and being hunted by their ruthless agents. Really, about half the series is all about Michael's "perfect" plans going awry.

The Warden profusely apologizes to Lincoln and his family for the extremely callous manner in which the Governor handled it, who later refuses to pardon him anyway. Luckily, this does give Michael the time he needs to implement his escape plan.

He Knows Too Much
 Prison Break / int_65acf9db
comment
He Knows Too Much: T-Bag kills a guard in Fox River after he sees the hole in Michael and Sucre's cell. This is the main reason for most deaths ordered by the Company. In particular, they order Mahone to slaughter every single member of the Fox River Eight because they're afraid of what Michael and Lincoln might have told to their fellow escapees.

Meaningful Name: Most of the names of the prisoners but C-Note is of worthy mention. He can get you anything you want for $100, so his name is C-Note (slang for $100), but his real name is Benjamin Franklin, whose face appears on the 100 dollar bill.

Iconic Item
 Prison Break / int_737394ab
comment
Iconic Item: The origami crane, which served as Michael's calling card in the early seasons and was featured heavily in the first season opening credits. The Whole Episode Flashback reveals it to be a symbol of devotion for the brothers — Lincoln used to leave them by Michael's pillow when they were children to reassure Michael that he was looking out for him, and Michael leaves one behind when he decides that it's time for him to look out for Lincoln instead — and they appear throughout the series. Origami in general, actually, is this for Michael. The origami flower he gives to Sara as a birthday present is what moves their relationship beyond general flirting, and it's one of the first things he returns it to her after her return from the dead. He also has a tendency to send her messages folded in various shapes, as it's an easy way for her to know they're from him without him needing to sign his name (which is useful when you're a fugitive).

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Prison Break / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: Sarah Wayne Callies was pregnant at the beginning of season three, so the writers attempted to plot around her maternity leave. Fox refused to sign off on the proposed plotline, forcing the writers to redo everything and their new season arc ended up involving Sara's death. Callies' refused to return to work just to be killed off so her scenes were shot with a body-double and her death in the fourth episode occurred off-screen. Didn't stop them from bringing her back from the dead in season four though.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Sara delivers an epic one to T-Bag in the penultimate episode of season four, telling him that she's always suspected the reason he rapes and hurts people is because he has neurological erectile dysfunction, likely caused by the sexual abuse he sustained during his childhood.

An Offer You Can't Refuse: Episode 5 reveals that Poseidon delivered one of these to Michael. Since Kellerman was not qualified to exonerate Michael's team, Michael had to join 21-Void as refusing to do so would spell life without parole for Michael's family and friends. It was later revealed Poseidon had Sara incarcerated for Christina Scofield's murder when Michael initially refused, meaning Poseidon's directly responsible for the events of The Final Break.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!
 Prison Break / int_7fbb2a3
comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: There's several, but arguably the first one was in "Riots, Drills and the Devil". Michael needed an uninterrupted block of time in order to break through a certain wall without being missed, so he sabotages the air conditioning system to trigger a lock-down. While he does accomplish his goal, the ensuing riot leads to the death of a guard, possibly the death of another guard (it's unclear if he dies or is just badly beaten), the death of several inmates, T-Bag finding out about the escape plan, and Sara getting suspicious and nearly raped. Whoops. Although he didn't have much of a choice at the time, Michael allowing T-Bag to join the escape directly resulted in the brutal murder of five or six people. He feels enormous guilt over this, and spends much of the rest of the series trying to get T-Bag back behind bars.

Reality Is Unrealistic: In season 3, the guards at the Panamanian prison only guard the perimeter. Inside, it is ruled only by the criminals, with an incarcerated drug lord its de facto warden. This may seem ludicrously far-fetched, but some prisons in this part of the world are in fact run in this way.

Playing with a Trope
 Prison Break / int_8741b74
comment
Played with throughout the series. Some examples are as follows: Towards the end of Season 1, Veronica Donovan's seemingly loyal partner, Nick Savrinn, pulls a gun on her because his father was held captive. Subverted, as he can't stand it and eventually releases her, only to sacrifice himself with his father for the greater good. Subverted in Season 2 when the ex-cons find the money in Utah, after which Sucre has this moment. The audience later discovers it was all planned up with Scofield. Apolskis in Season 2, when Mahone pulls a gun on him after the former believed that for what he did he'd be safely escorted to jail by the latter. Downplayed, as we already knew by then what the agenda of the FBI agent was. In Season 4 a bad-turned-good-turned-bad-again Gretchen pulls that off in a Mexican standoff with a Christina Scofield's henchman, Scott, but ends up being shot. Afterwards, she gets to prison, and repays her wrongdoings in The Final Break.

The Big Board: Michael uses a blank wall in his apartment to display and map out every detail of his escape. Mahone does the same thing when retracing Michael's steps during season two. Most of the plans during season four are mapped out on a whiteboard in the warehouse.

Truth in Television: A rather sad example, as Lane Garrison, the actor who played Tweener, went to prison for vehicular manslaughter not long after his run on the show ended. Despite committing a far more serious offence than his character, Garrison received a lighter sentence; he was sentenced to just over three years, and served about two and a half.

Bait-and-Switch: In season four, the members have to gain access to an older cardholder's room in order to get access to his Scylla data. He rebuffs Sara's advances, but she learns from a young, attractive man that the cardholder had propositioned him instead. Sucre reluctantly goes up to his room after the cardholder offers him a thousand dollars for an encounter, expecting to be seduced... Only to discover that the man lost his sexual functionality due to a combat injury, and instead was looking to pay a handsome stranger to have sex with his younger, extremely attractive wife. The look on Sucre's face is priceless.

Artistic License – Law Enforcement
 Prison Break / int_8a8f37f9
comment
Artistic License – Law Enforcement: In the second season, Bellick is shown actively participating in the manhunt for the escaped prisoners. This wouldn't happen: he's a prison guard, not a law enforcement officer; his authority ends at the prison gate. State and local police would have handled the manhunt. Although, Bellick is basically acting as a Cowboy Cop at that point, pursuing the escapees out of pure anger for tying him up to secure their escape and embarassing him. When the escaped prisoners board a train and start to disperse through the country, the FBI takes over and Bellick is fired for his awful performance. While he does continue to pursue the Fox River Eight after that, it's without any kind of legal authority: Bellick and his partner are simply interested in retrieving the money that one of the men who took part in the escape plan had buried somewhere.

Deconstructed Trope
 Prison Break / int_8aa0f76
comment
Michael visits the warden's office on several occasions, mainly to help the warden complete an elaborate model he's constructing as a present for his wife. No matter how much he's trusted, Michael wouldn't be allowed to meet with the warden one-on-one; regulations require that there always be a guard present for the warden's protection. A prisoner also would not be left alone and unobserved in the warden's office. He'd have access to files, the phone, the computer, and office supplies that could be crafted into weapons. This is deconstructed in season 2 when a disciplinary board concludes that the Warden and the Captain of the Guard have broken numerous rules of conduct that together enabled the escape of the Fox River 8. Both men are fired or forced to resign.

Bodyguard Crush: Kellerman clearly has feelings for Vice-President Reynolds and that drives him to do whatever she wants. Terrence openly calls him on it, laughing at how Kellerman honestly thinks he can be "the First Husband" and bluntly tells him Reynolds doesn't care about him. Kellerman doesn't believe it until he finds himself cut out of her loop and when she okays his termination, that's the final straw that drives him to help the brothers. Played with in The Final Break, when Gretchen tries to seduce a female CO to draw her attention and make her and Sara's escape easier.

Took a Level in Badass: Sara, starting at the Fox River prison riot, when she deals with the many inmates who want to get to her. She escapes while being tortured twice and from the bad guys in general more than once. She also sews up her own arm. In Season 4, she graduates into Action Girl. Lincoln was basically a petty thug before he got to Fox River. Michael forces himself to take a level in badass pre-season 1, when he goes from structural engineer/office jockey to criminal mastermind. He also learns how to steal cars. Sucre might be the most impressive - he's a car thief who becomes a bad convenience store stick-up artist to make enough money to take Maricruz out in style, and at first just takes a few bucks. Four months later, he's taking on a global conspiracy with the best of them.

Brad calls Linc out for his comment and Linc basically tells him to shut-up.

Save the Villain: Michael (and Sara, especially when it's Michael about to do the killing) spend a lot of time stopping others from killing the villains, and sometimes even helping them. Noticeable since they kill plenty of minions without a thought, making this a very good example of What Measure Is a Mook?.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain
 Prison Break / int_acf33d00
comment
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The Company and Caroline Reynolds' treatment of Kellerman in season two, capped by their eventual decision to have him terminated, leads to him having a Heel–Face Turn and greatly aiding the protagonists in the long run. Invoked by Michael in season four. He needs the final Scylla card, which belongs to General Krantz -– the only one who has access to Scylla's security cameras — so he breaks into the vault and activates the alarm on purpose, and when the General arrives, he, Lincoln, Mahone and Sucre are able to steal the card directly from him.

Face–Heel Turn
 Prison Break / int_af3ea0e3
comment
Face–Heel Turn: Roland. It ends badly for him. Self with the same fate, although delayed in time. Played with throughout the series. Some examples are as follows: Towards the end of Season 1, Veronica Donovan's seemingly loyal partner, Nick Savrinn, pulls a gun on her because his father was held captive. Subverted, as he can't stand it and eventually releases her, only to sacrifice himself with his father for the greater good. Subverted in Season 2 when the ex-cons find the money in Utah, after which Sucre has this moment. The audience later discovers it was all planned up with Scofield. Apolskis in Season 2, when Mahone pulls a gun on him after the former believed that for what he did he'd be safely escorted to jail by the latter. Downplayed, as we already knew by then what the agenda of the FBI agent was. In Season 4 a bad-turned-good-turned-bad-again Gretchen pulls that off in a Mexican standoff with a Christina Scofield's henchman, Scott, but ends up being shot. Afterwards, she gets to prison, and repays her wrongdoings in The Final Break.

Ms. Fanservice: Gretchen takes this role for the most part - a lot of tight clothes and leather, and on one memorable occasion a Catholic schoolgirl's uniform. Sara at one point wears a very cleavage-y top as part of a con, telling Michael "don't get used to it." At one point, Trishanne/Miriam Holtz is running around wearing a very flimsy and very lacy white camisole and a short skirt, for absolutely no reason other than "it's fun to have Shannon Luccio running around in flimsy lace and short skirts."

Retcon

Retcon: The timeline was heavily retconned between Seasons 4 and 5. Originally Michael died November 4, 2005 — as seen on his grave marker — and the plot of the entire first four seasons took place over a couple of months in 2005. In order to enable the event series to be set in 2017 — with Michael "dead" seven years and his son seven years old — his date of death was changed to November 4, 2010. It's possible that all of the events of the previous four seasons were changed to take place during 2010.

Too Dumb to Live
 Prison Break / int_b58b4e3c
comment
Too Dumb to Live: Season 2 cleans up the gene pool: Veronica Donovan, Tweener, Haywire. In Season 4, Roland, believes he would receive $1 million in exchange for Michael and Lincoln, only to get shot down by Wyatt. He doesn't end up getting killed for it, but at times Sucre's persistent unwillingness to understand that everyone in Maricruz's family dislikes him approaches this. Mrs. Hollander. So, a psychotic killer who has promised that he will hunt you down if he ever gets out of jail has broken out of prison. Do you think you maybe want to see who it is BEFORE opening the front door? In addition, a lot of characters going up against the brothers (or one brother and Sucre) seem to spontaneously forget that there are TWO of them — while actively chasing/being chased by both. Witness someone outrunning one and pausing for breath, only to be caught by the other, or knocking out one, and pausing to gloat or call someone only to be attacked by the other.

Left for Dead: A lot, and it always seems to come back to bite the characters in the ass. If someone is left bound and 'fatally' wounded on this show, you can pencil them in for a reappearance in a shocking plot twist. The constant refusal to give in to Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him? added a season-and-a-half of plot, minimum.

Cacophony Cover Up: In "Cute Poison", Sucre aggravates the entire cellblock into making a ruckus by singing loudly, allowing Michael to bust through their cell's wall without being caught. In "Safe and Sound", Michael and Lincoln must drill the wall of an empty office in order to gain access to a Scylla card. Sucre and Bellick cover the drilling noise by posing as janitors and using a loud vacuum cleaner in front of the office. In "Selfless", Don Self and Trishanne free themselves and kill their captors when they argue so loudly that Self can open his handcuffs before the captors notice it.

The Alcatraz
 Prison Break / int_b905c10c
comment
The Alcatraz: For season 3 of the series, Michael is manipulated by the recurring shadowy conspiracy to break a man out of Sona, a fictional Panamanian prison with a perfect record, surrounded by brutal military forces, and that's run by the convicts. Fox River in season 1 is not this trope, since it is more of a standard maximum security prison, even though it took the protagonists the entire season to break out. Downplayed in The Final Break, where the escape is successful after only two days of planning.

Finish Him!
 Prison Break / int_bb6461b4
comment
Finish Him!: The whole point of Sona's chicken-foot fights. Only one man can come out alive. However, Michael doesn't really follow this rule and gets touched by his nobility in his first duel: after seriously damaging his opponent, the former wants to quit, but is not allowed to by the crowd demanding him to finish the job, which allows the latter to come back and almost kill Scofield, had it not been for Mahone. Happens to Michael, when he holds enemies (which almost always are objectively-bad people) at a gunpoint, but ultimately refuses to kill them, which makes him the most upstanding, sensitive and somewhat-stupid character in the series. It usually bears the same consequences as those in his Sona fight. People whose lives he saves oftentimes return later to harm him even more, like T-Bag, causing a lot of trouble along the way only to eventually start working with the Company and almost rape Sara, or General Krantz, who — while incarcerated — orders dr. Tancredi's death. Scofield's attitude seems to shift in certain points of the plot, though. At the end of Season 2 he wounds Bagwell to let the Panamanian police get to him, whereas in Season 4 he tries to put his mother to death twice, including a shooting attempt failed only by an empty magazine. Linc occasionally jumps on the mercy bandwagon, too. In Season 4, when Gretchen intends to sell her company, he doesn't pull the trigger despite Self trying to convince him that she deserves it. In the Season 2 finale, when pointing the gun at Mahone, he's unable to kill him. Alex then breaks the deadlock and handcuffs Burrows.

Berserk Button: Michael really doesn't like it if you threaten or insult Linc. Likewise, you probably shouldn't threaten or harm Michael while Lincoln is around. Really, it's just not a good idea to mess with either brother. Somewhat exaggerated with plenty of characters once their families safety is threatened, to the point that it's easily abused by the bad guys.

Played straight in that Michael, Linc and Sucre form a small gang of True Companions in season one, which LJ and Sara are added to in season two. Subverted again in season three, as Mahone and Michael (much less the rest of the group) have no problem backstabbing each other while trying to break out of Sona. Played straight in early season four (as they're on their way to becoming one) and then subverted when the group splinters in the later part of the season. The direct-to-DVD gives us the basic group, seen in the season four finale at Michael's funeral, of Linc, Michael, Sara, Sucre, and Mahone.

Series Continuity Error

comment
Series Continuity Error: In season one, Lincoln tells Sara that his mother died of liver cancer. In season four, it suddenly becomes a brain tumor (that Michael apparently inherited), and also it turns out that she's not actually dead after all (which was probably for the best, as the writers could never seem to decide how many years she'd been dead for either — season four has it at anywhere from 20 to 25 years, and Michael's age at the time was either six or twelve).

Cassandra Truth: Haywire is the only person at Fox River to guess the secret behind Michael's tattoos, but he's also crazy so no one ever listens to him when he tries to tell them. It probably doesn't help that these encounters usually end with him screaming about pathways to hell.

"Eureka!" Moment: We see the moment Michael's plan really starts to fall into place during Brother's Keeper, when he notices the full-sleeve tattoos on the girl dropping off a delivery at his apartment. You can see the light bulb switch on as he realizes that there's a better way to carry the information in with him than trying to memorize all of it.

Justified Criminal: In order to save the life of his brother Lincoln Burrows, who has been sentenced to death for a murder he didn't commit, Michael Scofield robs a bank so he can be sent to the same prison and execute an elaborate Prison Escape. As things never go as planned, several more criminals are drawn into the scheme than originally planned and several more crimes are committed along the way.

Tattooed Crook
 Prison Break / int_dde43ab
comment
Tattooed Crook: Justified in Michael, who does have tattoos and is a criminal, but got the tattoos as a way of smuggling information about his plan and the prison blueprints into Fox River. The tattoos are removed at the beginning of season four to allow him to assume a fake identity (and to allow Wentworth to wear short-sleeves again), and he has a new set of tattoos in season five. Lincoln has at least one visible tattoo in the first season, but by the end of the show much of his forearms and biceps are covered in tattoos. Which is... strange, as the first four seasons take place within about six months, and the tattoos just kind of appeared in early season four with no explanation. note They are actor Dominic Purcell's actual tattoos, and presumably they finally decided it was too much work to cover them up.

Artistic License – Prison
 Prison Break / int_df5d7746
comment
Artistic License – Prison: Michael visits the warden's office on several occasions, mainly to help the warden complete an elaborate model he's constructing as a present for his wife. No matter how much he's trusted, Michael wouldn't be allowed to meet with the warden one-on-one; regulations require that there always be a guard present for the warden's protection. A prisoner also would not be left alone and unobserved in the warden's office. He'd have access to files, the phone, the computer, and office supplies that could be crafted into weapons. This is deconstructed in season 2 when a disciplinary board concludes that the Warden and the Captain of the Guard have broken numerous rules of conduct that together enabled the escape of the Fox River 8. Both men are fired or forced to resign. The Illinois corrections officers are portrayed as poorly paid (e.g., a veteran officer saying "I ain't a hero for $14 an hour"). In reality for Illinois, because of the poor working conditions the pay is not bad for a job requiring only a high school education: about $24 an hour fresh out of the academy. There's no death penalty in Illinois. The state has had a moratorium on executions since 1999, and it was officially abolished by the governor in 2011. Also, the preferred method before then was lethal injection; the last use of the electric chair was 1962. This is combined with Idiot Ball on the part of the guards on countless occasions. Inmates in Fox River are shown to have shivs concealed in their bibles, under the toilet seats, etc. In reality prison guards know all about these hiding places and check them often. Trying to hollow out a space in your bible to conceal a shiv is a waste of time. While at Fox River, Lincoln is frequently shown interacting with the other prisoners, and even has a job in prison industry during Season 1. In reality, most prisons are pretty strict about keeping Death Row inmates isolated from the rest of the prison population, and it's very unlikely that they would give a paying industrial job to someone who was slated to be executed.

 Prison Break / int_e75da3cc
comment
Pariah Prisoner: T-Bag is despised by almost every other inmate in Fox River, mostly for being a child rapist. Since Tweener is a white guy who tries to affiliate himself with the black inmates, he is rejected by the groups of both races. Bellick becomes this twice, first in Fox River, for being an ex-guard, and later on in Sona, for trying to keep his wallet. Sammy invokes this in Sona. Any prisoner who tries to hold on to his wallet is left hanging around in his underwear with no food or water, symbolizing his low position in the prison's social scale.

 Prison Break / int_eb251937
comment
Dirty Cop: Bellick and Geary. Agent Mahone, though in his case it's justified, since he was being coerced by the Company, and he clearly does not want to do what they ask. Agent Self.

Pretty Fly for a White Guy
 Prison Break / int_eb6912
comment
Pretty Fly for a White Guy: David Apolskis. An inmate in Fox River which (like most real world prisons) is divided along racial lines, he quickly becomes rejected by both black inmates for trying to affiliate himself with them, and by white inmates for trying to affiliate himself with black inmates, earning him the nickname "Tweener" (In-Betweener). Lampshaded by T-Bag, the leader of a white racist gang:

You have to wait until the Crossover episode of Breakout Kings, but you can argue that T-Bag ends up with this when his mother, the only person he cares about, is sexually assaulted.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 Prison Break / int_eb8f64a6

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: In season 4 while he's holding Gretchen's family hostage, T-Bag assumes a Bible salesman is a Company agent. Still wanting to return to his role as Cole Pfeiffer, he decides to let all of them go... only for the salesman to really be a Company agent who immediately attacks him.

 Prison Break / int_ee7a60e9
comment
One-Steve Limit: Downplayed. Several characters share their names, but it's not an issue because they're never seen together, they're called by their last names, and/or one has a nickname. Lincoln Burrows and Lincoln Burrows Jr., but the latter is only called LJ. Michael Scofield and his son who has the same name. Charles Westmoreland and Charles Patoshik. The latter is usually referred to as "Haywire", and both are also referred to by their surnames. Aside from the Lincolns, these two are the only ones who are ever seen together. Lisa Rix (LJ's mother) and Lisa Tabak (daughter of the General). David "Tweener" Apolskis and the engineer David Baker.

Platonic Declaration of Love: A simply beautiful example of this trope occurs between Michael and Lincoln in their final scene. It's quite appropriate as an ending, considering the love between the two brothers was often the driving force behind the entire show.

He later takes a veterinarian hostage to force him to stitch it back on despite the man's protests that he's trained to treat animals, not people. T-Bag kills him when he's finished anyway.

Series Fauxnale
 Prison Break / int_f9c3ecc6
comment
Series Fauxnale: Season 4 ends with both the General and Christina Scofield dead and the flashforward epilogue revealing that Michael Scofield has died not long after. The TV Movie, titled ‘The Final Break’ which serves as an epilogue to the series and the original Grand Finale, reveals that Michael died via Heroic Sacrifice by electrocuting himself so Sara can escape prison. He did this because his brain tumor had returned and he wasn’t going to live long anyway. Eight years later, the show was revived for a fifth season titled ‘Resurrection’ which revealed that Michael faked his death and has been working for a rogue CIA organisation who caused Sara’s arrest in the first place. He was forced to work for them so his family could have their freedom.

Death Row: Lincoln is on it after being framed for the murder of the Vice President's brother. His brother Michael allows himself to be incarcerated in another section of the same prison to mount an escape. The scheduled execution is at one point actually almost carried out before it's postponed by a call from the judge when Lincoln is literally sitting in the chair.

The Dog Bites Back: After being continuously raped by Avocado, Tweener slashes his penis with a razor. Bellick, the one who moved Tweener to the rapist's cell, later on gets punched in the face by him. Kellerman tortures Sara and leaves her to drown in a bathtub, but she escapes and burns his chest with an iron before getting away. Later on, after learning that he's working with Michael and Linc, she can't stand him and tries to avenge her misery by strangling him.

Swallow the Key
 Prison Break / int_fb72ee2e
comment
Swallow the Key: In the first season finale, T-Bag handcuffs himself to Michael so that Abruzzi and the other escapees can't get rid of him. He even swallows the key before it can be taken from him. In the end, Abruzzi frees Michael simply by cutting T-Bag's handcuffed hand off with an ax. In Rendezvous, when Bellick and Geary are about to get the key to the locker where T-Bag has hidden Charles Westmoreland's five million dollars, he swallows the key. They end up getting the key anyway by tying up T-Bag on a toilet and feeding him laxatives.
