In the 1960s, a 16-year-old boy was wrongly imprisoned before being broken out by his brother and spending four years on the run. Sound familiar? That's the story of Robert and Donald Hughes who used their experiences and turned their memories into a manuscript before sending it to Fox in 2001. The network turned the story down, though in 2005, Prison Break was born and a year later the Hughes brothers filed a lawsuit against Fox, though nothing materialised since.
