Michael Scofield is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Fox television series Prison Break. Portrayed by Wentworth Miller, Scofield is a brilliant structural engineer who orchestrates an elaborate plan to break his wrongly convicted brother, Lincoln Burrows, out of Fox River State Penitentiary.

Born on September 8, 1974, Michael displays exceptional intelligence from a young age. However, a troubled childhood, marked by separation from his parents and the perceived injustice suffered by his brother, shapes his worldview and fuels his strong sense of loyalty.

To execute his plan, Michael deliberately commits a crime to be incarcerated in the same prison as Lincoln. He tattoos a complex design across his upper body, concealing blueprints of the prison and vital information needed for the escape. Scofield's intelligence, strategic thinking, and willingness to sacrifice himself are key to navigating the dangerous prison environment and overcoming numerous obstacles. He often employs unconventional methods and relies on his quick wit to stay ahead of both inmates and prison authorities.

Throughout the series, Michael evolves, grappling with the moral implications of his actions and the consequences of his decisions. His primary motivation remains protecting his brother and uncovering the conspiracy that framed him.
