Following his resignation, a high ranking government official is abducted from his home and taken to a picturesque seaside location known as "The Village". However, the idealic surroundings hide a sinister world where "guests" are simply labelled as numbers and escape is impossible. His captors want secret information and will use any means to obtain it - give in and you'll be left to live out your days as a brainwashed member of the community - rebel and your stay will be far from pleasant.

With escape the objective, 'The Prisoner' must also strive to maintain his identity throughout the clever methods of interrogation employed by his abductors, whilst pursuing his obsession to discover "Who is Number 1?"

Can they break him?

How far will they go?

Or can "the prisoner" escape and outsmart them all?

First screened in 1967, Patrick McGoohan's television masterpiece has refused to be resigned to the past with new generations discovering its unique plots, colourful production values and striking images.

The series' symbols & story of one man's struggle against authority under constant surveillance remain potent themes today as much as they were when first aired. It's no wonder 'The Prisoner' is lauded as the most influential cult-TV program of all time.
