DESCRIPTION
``The Great Escape,'' TNT's first-ever foray into the competition reality series genre, is helmed by the same producers of ``The Amazing Race,'' the multiple Emmy-winning series that tracks contestants' season-long race around the world. In ``The Great Escape,'' a race against time to secure the grand prize of $100,000 -- awarded at the conclusion of each episode -- begins with three pairs of players dropped in a secret location. Faced with challenges and obstacles along each team's escape route, the players must use brains, brawn and agility to fight their way to freedom. NFL Network personality Rich Eisen hosts.
