I am a fan of new American TV series. During the days when "Prison Break" stopped airing, I kept searching for any information about the fourth season on the Internet. What is exciting is that there is still hope, although that day Relatively far away~
I believe that many friends here, like me, are already thinking about what kind of movies to watch instead of waiting anxiously. Now I will introduce to you some close or similar movies that I have collected recently. I hope it can help you (it does not include "Hero" and several other popular ones, because it is a science fiction genre and cannot be compared, and I don't like science fiction genre either). If you think it is good, please help me build a building, thank you~
The first recommendation is "The Shawshank Redemption". It is said that "Prison Break" is the TV series version of it (probably a joke), but there are many familiar plots in it:
"The warden keeps his own small ledger What I saw in the safe was a Bible left by Andy, and in the hollowed out part was a pickaxe that was almost rounded.”
------- ----------------------- Do you remember Scoofy's long bolt? The following is the plot introduction:
"The Shawshank Redemption"
The story takes place in 1947. Banker Andy killed his wife and her husband with a gun because she had an extramarital affair. Her lover, so he was accused of shooting his wife and her lover, and Andy was sentenced to life imprisonment, which means that he will spend the rest of his life in Seank Prison.
Ari was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in 1927, and was paroled several times without success. He has now become the "authority figure" in Shawnker's prison, and as long as you can pay, he can get almost anything you want: cigarettes, candy, alcohol, even marijuana. Whenever a new prisoner arrived, everyone would bet on who would cry on the first night. Ari thought that the weak and bookish Andy would cry, but Andy's silence cost him four packs of cigarettes. But it also made Ari look at him differently.
For a long time, Andy did not have contact with anyone. While everyone complained, he took a leisurely walk in the yard, just like in the park. A month later, the first thing Andy asked Ari to help him was a small pickaxe. His explanation was that he wanted to carve some small things to kill time, and said that he would find a way to escape from prison. routine inspection. Soon, Ari started playing chess made by Andy. Afterwards, Andy made a huge poster of Rita Hayworth and posted it on the wall of the cell.
Once, Andy and several other prisoners went out to work, and he overheard the prison officer talking about tax collection. Andy said he had a way to make the prison officer legally exempt from this large amount of tax. In exchange, he won two bottles of Tiger beer for each of a dozen prisoner friends. Over a beer, Ari said he felt free again for the first time in years.
Because Andy was proficient in financial system knowledge, he quickly got rid of the heavy manual labor in prison and the harassment of other perverted prisoners. Soon, the famous Andy began to handle tax issues for more and more prison guards, and even their children came to him for advice on their education. At the same time, Andy has gradually become an important tool for money laundering by Warden Warden, Shawnk. Because Andy kept writing to the governor, he finally got a small amount of money for the prison to build a prison library. Prison life is very dull, and you always have to find something to do. Andy heard that Ari loved playing the harmonica, so he bought one for him. After the night is quiet, the melodious and gentle sound of the harmonica can be heard echoing in the prison.
The arrival of a young prisoner broke Andy's peaceful prison life: this prisoner had heard about Andy's case when he was serving time in another prison, and he knew who the real murderer was! But when Andy asked the warden to reopen the case, he was flatly rejected and was severely punished by two months of solitary confinement. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the prison did not hesitate to kill the insider!
Facing the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed... One day, he said to Ari: "If one day you can get parole, you must go somewhere to complete a mission for me. Wish. That was the place where I had my first date with my wife. You will know what it is when you dig out a box under a big oak tree there. "That night, it was stormy and thunderous. The soul-saving Andy successfully escapes from prison.
It turns out that for twenty years, Andy has been digging holes with that little pickaxe every day, and then covering the hole with posters. After Andy was released from prison, he took away some of the black money saved by the warden and exposed the truth about the warden's corruption and bribery. What the warden saw in the safe where he kept his small account book was a Bible left by Andy. In the hollowed out part was a pickaxe that was almost ground into a round head.
Arry was released, he found a box of cash under the oak tree, and the two old friends finally reunited on the sunny beach of Mexico.
------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- --
Then I recommend "Prison Break" (OZ). Maybe it's because they all have prisons. Maybe you can also see the shadows of the people in "Prison Break". Please read the introduction:
OZ
HBO's violent prison drama is an addictive, hormone-fueled soap opera. The eight episodes of the first season set the tone for the show as a whole: a large cast of a vivid characters on and off the railings, four or five stories unleashed at a fast, suffocating pace, and accompanied by angry, weird narrations and dramatic increases in mortality. Created by Homicide showrunner Tom Fontana, the series quickly earned its reputation as the most violent show on television. This film is like a simple chemical reaction: combining various explosive elements in a limited, sealed container and shaking it vigorously.
------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------- -------
The next ones are "24" and "LOST". This is also the most popular film on the Internet to replace "Prison Break". Please see the introduction: < /p>
"24 Hours on Counter Terrorism"
The story takes place in 24 hours a day. Jack Bauer, an agent of the anti-terrorism team, is the core of the whole drama. Around him, there are his wife, daughter, president, and colleagues. The intricate relationships among , terrorists, and government officials are intertwined into an overwhelming network. First, someone wanted to assassinate the president (Season 1), but behind this assassination was a conspiracy that had been buried for many years. This was not just a simple fight against terrorism and political conspiracy, it was a test of human nature. One year later (season 2), another sleepless day, a nuclear bomb will be detonated by terrorists in Los Angeles. The president is faced with a difficult choice - is a military strike the best response to show the resoluteness of the United States? And Jack Bauer's investigation will provide the president with the final answers. As for the upcoming third season, the enemies there should be terrifying biological and chemical weapons, cruel drug lords and the more difficult White House coup...
This is a show that has only been released for two seasons. The popular TV series (Season 3 will begin broadcasting in the United States this October), although there is no big name (Keeffe Sutherland has been hovering below the second tier of Hollywood for many years) to join, but missing it will be an irreparable regret. Putting aside the great-power chauvinism and personal heroism complex implicit in the play, in terms of the performance of a TV series alone, "24" undoubtedly has irrefutable strength. This wonderful script cleverly combines the 24 hours of a day with the broadcast cycle of American TV series. It has completed a revolution in the creativity of TV series structure in minutes and seconds. In the second season, Palmer's presidential image has been further strengthened (this leader similar to the "Philosopher King" can probably only appear in two places - ancient Greece and American TV series). Contact the real current affairs in the United States, and you will find how strongly the film reflects "911" and the "Iraq War"! If "Titanic" was the last nuclear bomb for Hollywood movies at the end of the last century, then "24" is the first nuclear bomb for American TV series in the 21st century!
"LOST"

CIS focuses on the collection and investigation of criminal evidence, while NCIS focuses on the suspenseful twists and turns of the case and the distinctive personalities of the main characters. A case at the beginning of the second season is very representative. A military helicopter parked in the middle of a wheat field, and the wheat fields around the helicopter all fell down to form a circle. The Marine piloting the plane has disappeared.

The scene may be something the producer never thought of, maybe it's the story, maybe it's the missing persons team, anyway, it's so attractive.
