Two brothers are suing Fox, saying the television show “Prison Break” was modeled after their own experiences which they had written a manuscript about.

The Associated Press is reporting that Robert and Donald Hughes has filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the television network.

The brothers say they gave their script to Fox in 2001, but the network passed on it. They were shocked when “Prison Break” debuted last fall, especially since it bared eerie resemblances to their story and script.

“It’s a classic case of the rich trampling on the poor,” Donald Hughes said.

Fox representatives said they have not seen the lawsuit and that they have no comment.
