For four years, two brothers were on the run after a prison break at a juvenile facility. The men, brothers Donald and Robert Hughes, claim they chronicled their experiences in a copyrighted manuscript and had an agent pitch it to producers. They now claim Fox Broadcasting Co. and others hijacked it and used it as the basis of the television show "Prison Break." Their federal copyright infringement case, filed in U.S. District Court in Missouri, seeks unspecified damages and other costs.
