Prison Break revolves around two brothers: one who has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit and his younger sibling, a genius who devises an elaborate plan to help him escape prison by purposely getting himself imprisoned.[2] The brothers, along with six other prisoners at Fox River State Penitentiary, manage to escape in the final episode of the season.

A total of ten actors received star billing in the first season, with numerous supporting roles. Filming took place mostly in and around the Chicago area; Fox River was represented by Joliet Prison, which had closed in 2002. Critical reviews of the first season generally favorable. Season one was released on DVD in Region One as a six-disc boxed set under the title of Prison Break: Season One on August 8, 2006.
