Editorial Review:
The federal government can’t touch Michael Scofield, so they’re going after the woman he loves. When Sara is arrested for murder, only Michael can rescue her — and their unborn child — from an impenetrable women’s prison. With a price on Sara’s head and time running out, Michael must rely on his deadliest enemies to help attempt the most daring breakout ever.

Prison Break: The Final Break Reviews:
Prison Break: The final break 
2009-12-14 - Was the final edition to my collection of Prison Break - product was great quality and very quick shipment
Love It
2009-12-12 - I am a Prison Break fan and The Final Break was like pure heaven!! I really wish they would have made this into one more season for the show. Just like all the other Prison Break DVDs I can watch this movie over and over again. It definitely answered most of the questions from the very last episode. If you are a Prison Break fan like myself, then this is a must to add to your collection.
It's nice to see the cast together again 
2009-11-23 - Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and the team are back and this time they are together to break Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) out of prison. She's arrested at her wedding for the murder of Michael's mother. The former boss of the company puts out a hit on Sara as revenge on Michael. Will they break her out before someone gets to her ?
This movie made me realize how much I missed the show. It is a little predictable due to the series finale already showing us the future of key characters. Yet, the movie is still exciting and fun but mostly due to seeing the cast together again. I wish NBC would release made for DVD movies for My Name is Earl and Las Vegas bringing closure to those shows. Especially since unlike Prison Break they never had a series finale.
Lousy end for a great series! 
2009-11-23 - Totally agree with Nora Lamy.
If we were supposed to just get a rush from the wild ride on the roller-coaster of this plot and series then the ending was like slamming into a concrete bridge abutment at 90 miles an hour!
There is no logical reason that after all the sweat and tears, that there could not have been a happy ending. Yes, this was a skillfully crafted work, but it makes this viewer wonder now if it was worth the investment in my time and money!
Essential Viewing for Fans, But Nothing Special
2009-11-09 - The final episode of Prison Break ended with a "4-Years Later" title card and a startling revelation in the final shot. It could have ended there, leaving the audience to wonder how everything happened that way but the creators of Prison Break opted to create this 88-minute movie to tie up those gaping plot holes and clarify all the fan's unanswered questions. Gaping plot holes was never a big deal for Prison Break, but it was a nice gesture...However, as I'll explain, I wish they would've done it just a little differently.
All the actor's/character's from the fourth season return for this, which takes place right before the four-year title card, but after the "ending" of the last episode. Without giving any details away, this film makes Sarah (Sarah Wayne Callies), the girlfriend of Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), the main character. All the plot holes are covered up with events surrounding her...It does a fine job of filling us in on questions we may have, but my one complaint will go over the head's of some. Even as Prison Break grew more and more ludicrous, I found that it never lost its ability to excite and entertain. It was always a drama as it's core, hinging much of it's success on the love audiences had for it's characters, but few shows have made my heart race the way Prison Break did. This movie had 80-minutes to wrap up a series and seemed more of a way to just get everything out of the way than tell a story. The way that it favors dramatic elements over exciting elements would have made it one of the weaker episodes had it actually been a part of the fourth season.
For those reading this, keep in mind that this is intended only for those who have watched all four seasons including the series finale. This is not a stand-alone film and will make little or no sense to those with little or no familiarity with the series.
If you're a fan, this is essential viewing. That last shot of the series opens up a lot of questions and I'm sure you'll want to see what went down to cause that, but therein lies another problem. If you did watch that final episode, you'll notice a major lack-of-suspense due to the knowledge you have about the character this movie hinges on. It's that character that really eliminates all suspense, but all who have seen that final episode know the fate of all these characters. Yes, this shows how they got there but the knowledge we have makes everything a lot less effective.
At 88-minutes, it's obviously a bit simplified on top of everything else but there are moments that do contain a sort of dramatic poignancy, particularly the final scene which in it's own simple way brings more closure to the series than the actual ending did. As I said, this is essential viewing for fans of the series but hardly an essential release. I think everything from here could have been initially incorporated into the actual series, but perhaps done differently. With that said, The Final Break will clarify anything that had you scratching your head when that last episode faded to black...But you won't necessarily like it.
