Prison Break was one of the most exciting crime dramas of the 2000s and the upcoming reboot must return to its roots. The story centers on structural engineer Michael (Wentworth Miller), who breaks into a prison that he designed to break his innocent brother, Lincoln (Dominic Purcell), out. The characters in Prison Break ranged from the wrongfully accused to the disturbing and dangerous, and while the show began to lose focus over time, the acting and fan favorites often saved it. Prison Break‘s four seasons, reboot, and movie took the show from gritty drama to sci-fi at times.
