The original?
"I am not a number, I am a free man!" After resigning his position as a top British secret agent, the protagonist, whose true name is never revealed, is abducted and brought to "The Village", a very unconventional prison filled with seemingly brainwashed residents. Not knowing who his captors are, nor who is a prisoner there, or who is a warder, Number Six (Patrick McGoohan), as he becomes known as, devises ways to escape, while at the same time resisting his mysterious captors attempts to extract one piece of information: why he resigned.
or the remake:
A re-imagining of the cult classic British science fiction series The Prisoner, a man known only as Six (James Caviezel) awakes to find himself captive in an enigmatic locale called the Village. The administrator of the Village, Two (Sir Ian McKellen), is determined to crack him in order to gain access to the knowledge which he possesses. However, Six is just as determined to escape.
The original is better.

Didn't really understand it the first time round. Doubt I would now either.
I understood that he had resigned from a government job and had been abducted, but then every episode he tried to escape and failed.Got bored and stopped watching.
Was there ever a conclusion?
