Prison Break: The Final Break is a tense, direct-to-video conclusion to the series that follows Michael Scofield’s desperate attempt to rescue his wife, Sara, from prison. The film focuses on themes of sacrifice, terminal illness, and the lengths one will go to protect family. Parents should be aware of moderate…

None. There is no sexual content, though some characters are depicted wearing low-cut clothing.

Moderate violence is present. This includes a scene where a woman is slammed against a wall, striking a metal hook, with visible blood results. Other instances feature poisonings and physical altercations within the prison environment.

Mild profanity is used occasionally throughout the dialogue, consistent with a television-standard thriller.

Substance use is fleeting and limited to a scene involving the administration of poison to a prisoner, which serves as a plot device rather than recreational drug use.

The film deals with heavy, mature themes including the terminal illness of a main character, the emotional trauma of separation from a child, the ethics of incarceration, and self-sacrifice.

Prison Break: The Final Break runs 89 minutes, directed by Kevin Hooks, Brad Turner, released in 2009.
