A drama where prisoners who mysteriously vanished from Alcatraz decades ago reappear in the present.


Rebecca is a San Francisco police detective who discovers that a fingerprint found on a homicide victim belongs to a former Alcatraz prisoner who died decades in the past.

When she runs into resistance looking into her discovery, Rebecca turns to an expert on Alcatraz prison to help her piece together the mystery that is slowly unraveling.

Their investigation reveals that the prisoner in question is actually still alive and loose on the streets of San Francisco. What's more, is that he may not be the only prisoner from Alcatraz to reappear in the present.

Alcatraz cancelled--really?! So I loved this show because it was different from the reality,cartoon and music competitions. It provided an edge and suspense that was unique from other police crime shows. Now what do I do? What will happen to the doctor? Where are the re-captured inmates being incarcerated, and why? Who is behind the plot? I have lost respect for FOX and its short-sighted, premature cancellation of Alcatraz. You could have at least given it one more season to unfold the plot and garner more viewers. The only programs left for me now are Bones, and NFL football. Bad, bad FOX!!!!!

science fiction type programs never get the high ratings but are enjoyed by many, we get stuck with reality show cause fox cancels everything else. and no conclusions they just end them after a season. it horrible programming, why even get into any show on fox cause it most likely wont be there next season

What a dissapointment to see that one of our favorite shows has been cancelled! I have to agree with the other comments I just read--I am sick of the reality shows!! and I am sick of investing my time just to have a quality show cancelled after one season. ALCATRAZ was interesting, different and a program to look forward to. Always enjoy seeing Robert Forster.....JMC

This really P%^^#S me off to no end. I am tired of all of the reality TV shows on the air. I am sick of America making stars out of teenagers getting pregnant. I am tired of hearing about parents pushing their daughters in pageants only to get a spin off show so they can make fun of Red-Necks and watch why our children today are so messed up and illiterate. Finally something comes along that is entertaining and is dropped because it is not causing a massive media uproar. BS!!!!!!!!!!

My son and I are very upset that the show has been cancelled. That was our night to sit down and watch a show together. I think my son was more upset that it's not coming back than I am. How disappointing.

what a crying shame. House is gone. well then, ill watch tara nova, its pretty good. oh wait a minute, fox cancelled it. oh, well thats ok, cause i love this new series alcatraz. what, u cancelled it too. Huh, guess I'll just have to watch sucky, reality tv on abc, nbc, or cbs. As bad as those shows are, like hells kitchen, and biggest loser, they seem to remain on tv forever. Guess fox wants to be subpar like the rest
