Editor's Note
Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is the victim of a political conspiracy that is determined to bring him down, and the only one who can save him is his brother, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller). A prison engineer, Michael gets himself arrested and locked up in the same prison where his brother sits on death row, intending to use his intimate knowledge of the jail to help them both escape. Unfortunately, Michael isn't prepared for what he finds on the inside--but he remains determined to see his plan through. This collection includes the entire first season.

"[I]t is surprisingly successful, the delayed-gratification plotting steadily parceling out crucial information without letting the pace flag." 08/01/2006 p.98Ultimate DVD
5 stars out of 5 -- "With an excellent cast and fantastic scripting, which never slackens its pace and features twists and turns that will keep you glued to the screen..." 08/01/2006 p.79 Variety 7 of 10
Emboldened by the durability of "24," Fox trots out two serials this fall that, in success, will be difficult to extend into a second season. "Prison Break" is the more intriguing of these sha-la-la-live-for-today dramas (the other being "The OC"-like "Reunion"), thanks principally to a strong cast led by Wentworth Miller, who purposely gets tossed into prison hoping to spring his death-row brother. Still, emulating "24"'s delicate balancing act is full of potential tripwires, and the surplus of moving parts in the two-hour premiere doesn't make entirely clear how "Break" will escape triggering them. - Brian Lowry
