Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) marries Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) on the beach. Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) and Fernando Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) are witnesses. The police breaks up the celebration by arresting Sara for the murder of Christina Hampton. She had killed Hampton to save Michael. She is locked up in Miami prison instead of jail while waiting for trial. The guards are abusive for what happened in Fox River. Daddy (Lori Petty) is the head of the prison gang. T-Bag Bagwell (Robert Knepper) and General Jonathan Krantz (Leon Russom) are prisoners in the men's side. Krantz puts out $100k for a contract on Sara and Gretchen Morgan (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) happens to be in the same prison. Cowler (Aisha Hinds) is a stand up guard. Alex Mahone (William Fichtner) is refused reinstatement back into the FBI but Agent Richard Sullins (Kim Coates) dangles the badge if Alex rats out Michael and his inevitable attempt to break out his wife.
The movie is forced to jerry-rig the situation to bring it back to step 1 with several old characters conveniently in the same prison. It's got the Orange is the new Black vibe. The women's prison is good. There is one good twist but the escape isn't quite as compelling as the first original season. The movie simply doesn't have enough time to set up the escape attempt for the audience. There is the same familiar gang back together again. That's great for fans of the show.
