Prison Break appears to be a story about intelligence, strategy, and one man’s impossible mission to escape Fox River. Michael Scofield enters the prison with a detailed blueprint and a carefully designed plan to save his brother Lincoln. However, the deeper truth is that the escape succeeds and fails because of something far more unpredictable: betrayal. Throughout the series, every major turning point is caused not only by clever planning but by people changing sides, hiding their true intentions, or sacrificing others for their own survival.
