let me give you an example:
We are made.I heard it on PB.I think it's the same as "they're on to us"
But i could be wrong.

We get students of all levels here. We can't read minds: teachers can only respond to the questions as they are written.

"to be made" could refer to many things depending on the context.
One interpretation that would fit your example is "We have succeeded; we have escaped undetected; we are 'home free'".

Prison Break
Actually they did want to escape but because they were detected!!
So is that correct?"To be made"

Yes, in that case it means 'they are on to us' as you have said.

Yes, it is correct in this context. "To be made" can mean vastly different things depending upon the context. For example, in the Mob (or Mafia), when someone is "made" it means he's been accepted as a full member of the Cossa Nostra and has taken the oath of Omertà.

In all fairness, your original question was very vague with no context given.
