Prison Break is a 2005 English-language Action Crime series developed by Paul Scheuring. Prison Break was produced under the production house Original Film in collaboration with Adelstein/Parouse Productions and 20th Century Fox Television. The series originally aired on Fox. An innocent man is framed for the homicide of the Vice President's brother and scheduled to be executed at a super-max penitentiary, thus it's up to his younger brother to save him with his genius scheme: install himself in the same prison by holding up a bank and, as the final month ticks away, launch the escape plan step-by-step to break the both of them out, with his full-body tattoo acting as his guide; a tattoo which hides the layout of the prison facility and necessary clues vital to the escape.
