I know you are, and we're here to help you by giving you Alcatraz trailer, synopsis part and some fresh photos. So, sit down, and start enjoying…
From executive producer J.J. Abrams (Lost) and writer Elizabeth Sarnoff (Lost), Alcatraz is the chilling new thriller centered on America's most infamous prison and the mysterious return of its most notorious criminals.
When San Francisco Police Department Det. Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) is assigned to a grisly homicide case, a fingerprint leads her to a shocking suspect: Jack Sylvane (guest star Jeffrey Pierce), a former Alcatraz inmate who died decades ago.
Given her family history – both her grandfather and surrogate uncle, Ray Archer (Robert Forster), were guards at the prison – Madsen's interest is immediately piqued, and once the enigmatic, knows-everything-but-tells-nothing government agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill) tries to impede her investigation, she's doggedly committed.
Madsen turns to Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast, Dr. Diego ‘Doc' Soto (Jorge Garcia), to piece together the inexplicable sequence of events. The twosome discovers that Sylvane is not only alive, but he's loose on the streets of San Francisco, leaving bodies in his wake. And strangely, he hasn't aged a day since he was in Alcatraz, when the prison was ruled by the iron-fisted Warden Edwin James (Jonny Coyne) and the merciless Associate Warden E.B. Tiller (Jason Butler Harner).
Madsen and Soto reluctantly team with Agent Hauser and his technician, Lucy Banerjee (Parminder Nagra), to stop Sylvane's vengeful killing spree. By delving into Alcatraz history, government cover-ups and Rebecca's own heritage, the team will ultimately discover that Sylvane is only a small part of a much larger, more sinister present-day threat. For while he may be the first, it quickly becomes clear that Sylvane won't be the last prisoner to reappear from Alcatraz.
Through the course of the investigation, Madsen and Soto will learn that Agent Hauser has known about the prison's secret history and has been awaiting the prisoners' return. Soto will witness his life's work – the history of Alcatraz – come alive.
Madsen will be forced to keep her supportive San Francisco cop fiancé, Jimmy Dickens (Santiago Cabrera), at arm's length from the highly classified assignment as she sees everything she thought she knew about her family's past shattered, all while fighting to keep the country safe from history's most dangerous criminals.
The series is executive-produced by J.J. Abrams, Bryan Burk (Fringe) and Elizabeth Sarnoff. Steven Lilien, Bryan Wynbrandt (Kyle XY) and Sarnoff wrote the pilot while Danny Cannon (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami) directed the pilot.
Cast includes Sarah Jones as Det. Rebecca Madsen, Jorge Garcia as Dr. Diego ‘Doc' Soto, Sam Neill as Emerson Hauser, Parminder Nagra as Lucy Banerjee, Robert Forster as Ray Archer, Santiago Cabrera as Jimmy Dickens, Jonny Coyne as Warden Edwin James.
