24 is a current Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning American television series, created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, and produced by Imagine Television. It is broadcast in the USA by the Fox Network and syndicated worldwide.
The show first aired on November 6, 2001, with an initial thirteen episodes. After leading actor Kiefer Sutherland won a Golden Globe for his role in the first 10 episodes, the ratings were boosted, which prompted FOX to order the second half of the series. Five seasons of 24 have since been produced, with the sixth scheduled to begin airing on January 14, 2007.
Each season covers the events of a 24 hour period in the life of federal agent Jack Bauer (played by Sutherland) as he tries to prevent one or more domestic terrorist attacks, set mostly in Los Angeles. The show also follows Jack's colleagues at the Counter Terrorist Unit,"CTU", Los Angeles office, as well as the actions of the terrorists or in some cases, actions of the conspirators, a civilian family and typically an important political figure such as a senator or president.
Season synopses
The first five days follow a similar format: a main story arc featuring Jack Bauer and the Counter Terrorist Unit dealing with a threat posed to national security. Surprise sacrifices, betrayals, and other plot twists are common.[1] Each season also has several major subplots that span most of the episodes and are interwoven within the main plot. Throughout each season, Jack Bauer often faces intense personal anguish in addition to his tasks to stop the terrorists. Since the show aired soon after the 9/11 attacks the plot often deals with a "Hidden Enemy" who is only seen for a small time in the "Day".
Each season is aired in real-time and starts at the top of the hour on a given day. Each episode portrays one hour of that day, with one season comprising 24 episodes or a day in the life of Jack Bauer. The show is set largely in Los Angeles, so the "time" is set in Pacific Standard Time for the 4th season and Pacific Daylight Time for the other seasons. Every episode that succeeded Season 1 begins with: "The following takes place between [time] and [time]." During Season 1, the voice-over was "The following takes place between [time] and [time] on the day of the California Presidential Primary. Events occur in real time." The first season also had several episodes open with, "I'm Federal Agent Jack Bauer, and today is the longest day of my life."
Season 1
Starts and ends at 12:00 AM. In Day 1, Jack Bauer's wife and daughter are kidnapped by a terrorist group plotting to kill presidential candidate David Palmer. A mole inside L.A. Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), Jamey Farrell, is exposed, but doesn't provide any information that could help the investigation. When it is revealed that the man behind his family's kidnapping is someone from his past, Jack eventually realizes everything that has happened has been to do with both him and Senator David Palmer personally, while information is uncovered that there may be another mole inside CTU. Jack ultimately has to balance his professional agency role with his family life.
Season 2
Starts and ends at 8:00 AM. In Day 2, approximately eighteen months after Season 1, Jack is dealing with the death of his wife, Teri Bauer, and the estrangement of his daughter. Jack is no longer working for CTU, but when the White House receives intelligence that a nuclear bomb will be detonated in Los Angeles over the course of the day, which forces Jack into action. President David Palmer counts on Jack as the only man he can trust to find the terrorist cell in possession of the bomb and to stop its detonation. Featuring politicial and social termoil, more lives will be at stake as another conspiracy arouses regarding a tape conversation about an attack on America, which was uncovered after the bomb crisis.
Season 3
Starts and ends at 1:00 PM. In Day 3, three years after narrowly averting a war with three middle eastern countries, Jack returns from a one-year deep undercover operation, infiltrating the Salazar drug family. At the same time, a van drops off a dead body infected with a bio-weapon at the National Health Services. CTU then receives a phone call threatening to release the virus if Ramon Salazar is not released from prison in 6 hours. Jack has a new partner, Chase Edmunds, who is also romantically involved with Kim, who has now become an employee at CTU. Jack is also fighting a heroin addiction he picked up in his undercover assignment which close family and friends are unaware of.
Season 4
Starts and ends at 7:00 AM. It's been 18 months since Jack Bauer averted a deadly crisis in Los Angeles. Subsequently, he was fired from CTU, and has a new lease on life, as a senior advisor to Secretary of Defense James Heller. He has also found a new love in his life in the form of his boss's daughter, Audrey Raines. But an impeding hostage crisis, concerning his new boss, leaves Jack's new life in shambles. Jack finds he must go back to his old calling as a CTU agent, to save the life he has made for himself. As the day unfolds several contingency plans are revealed, all devised by Turkish terrorist Habib Marwan. Each of Marwan's attacks proves even more devastating than its predecessor and CTU races to find him before he can unleash unprecedented terror upon America. To complicate matters, a secret Chinese Embassey mission goes wrong, setting up serious consequences Jack will face in future seasons.
Season 5
Starts and ends at 7:00 AM. Eighteen months after Day 4, Jack is living under a new alias, as Frank Flynn, and working on various oil rigs and refineries throughout America. He is currently living with Diane and Derek Huxley, a family near the Mojave Desert, South Eastern California. Meanwhile, an unknown figure orders the assassination of the four people who know Jack is alive — Tony Almeida, Michelle Dessler, Chloe O'Brian and former President David Palmer — to frame him. He returns to LA to clear his name when a hostage situation erupts. But it is only a diversion by a collaboration of conspirators and Russian separatists to obtain 20 canisters of Sentox VX nerve gas. The gas was originally to be used to attack Moscow, but the separatists begin to release it in LA in retaliation after they discover that a US agent has infiltrated their organization. Jack attempts to search for the remaining canisters and expose treachery that goes deep within the White House.
Season 6
Template:In-progress tvshow Starts and ends at 6:00 AM, taking place 20 months after Day 5. Day 6 is currently in production, and will begin airing on Sunday, January 14, 2007, and on Monday, January 15, 2007, with a two-night, four-hour season premiere on Fox. The sixth day will premiere in the UK & Ireland on January 21, 2007[1]
The trailer for Day 6 was released October 24, 2006 at 3 pm EST at Times Square in New York City, and on the internet. [2]
Cast
The 24 cast has been changed every season. The changes have ranged from small to almost the full cast. The only actors that have appeared on all six seasons are the main star, Kiefer Sutherland, and Glenn Morshower (Aaron Pierce, Special Agent with the United States Secret Service; a relatively minor character until Season 5). A likely reason that the cast is changed annually is to keep the show fresh from season to season.
The show has always had many guest stars not billed as main cast members, as well as Special Guest Stars from time to time. Special Guest Stars are usually former cast members making a return appearance, which can last from a single episode to almost an entire season, as did some guest stars.

^ indicates a "non-stop" season.
Viewership increased midway through its second season when the mega-hit American Idol became the lead-in into 24 starting in February 2003. For its fourth season, FOX gave the show a vote of confidence by moving 24 out of the post-American Idol time slot (to make room for the eventual hit drama, House) and placed it on Monday nights at 9:00pm Eastern (8:00pm Central) while it aired the show in consecutive weeks, beginning in mid-January of 2005. The consecutive-week schedule was also implemented for 2006, beginning in mid-January 2006.
In comparison to its 2005 season, 24 in 2006 was up 16% in overall viewers and 14% in viewers of the advertiser-friendly 18-49 age demographic.[12] Thus, the series reached its ratings peak in 2006.
Elements
Real time
24 is a thriller that purports to be shown in "real-time", with each minute of airtime corresponding to a minute in the lives of the characters. This real-time nature is emphasized by an on-screen digital clock appearing from time to time—this corresponds roughly to the minute of the broadcast hour, factoring in commercials.
The action switches between different locations as it cuts between the parallel adventures of different characters involved in the same overall plot. The result is long sections of unseen narrative for each character. A main character might only be seen for a quarter of an episode's overall running time. The notice preceding each episode announcing that "events occur in real time" was abandoned as of the 4th episode (03:00am - 04:00am) of Season 1, though it was factored into the premieres of Seasons 2 and 3 as well. For Season 4 and 5, however, there is no such notice.
Storytelling and visual style
24 employs fast-paced and complex plots. Characters, even the most popular ones, are killed seemingly at random, keeping audiences forever on edge. Jack Bauer can be absolutely ruthless, freely killing, maiming and torturing in pursuit of his goals, making him one of the darkest leading men in TV history. Nonetheless, Bauer's compassion remains a prominent character trait throughout. In addition to its thriller aspects, the show is notable for humanizing its characters by following their office politics and family problems.
A recurring theme of 24 has characters faced with the decision of whether or not to let something tragic happen for the sake of a greater good. In Season 2, a member of the presidential staff has the chance to warn CTU of an imminent attack on their building, but believes that doing so would put the culprits on alert and thus cause a valuable trail to go cold. A similar situation occurs prior to an attack on a shopping mall in Season 5. In Season 3, the President and CTU agents must choose between the life of a high-ranking CTU official and the imminent threat of further attacks. Season 4 is notable for a scene in which two men — one of whom possesses crucial information — lie dying in an emergency room, creating the ethical dilemma of whom to save. In addition, the sitting President often has to deal with a similar quandary.
Early on, the series frequently used split-screen action to follow multiple plots, although in later seasons this was scaled back somewhat and confined mostly to phone conversations and shots leading into and out of commercial breaks. The lighting of the show tends to be naturalistic to the point of being sometimes unflattering, with scenes set indoors typically looking rather dark and scenes outside often using harsh sunlight.
A notable design choice for the show is that it is never shot from static camera angles. This creates jerky shots that intentionally add to the atmosphere of the show's action-packed pace.
Torture
CTU employs several personnel exclusively to torture suspects potentially withholding vital information. Richards, Johnson and Burke are just three of these such employees, who are only ever seen practicing physical torture. The methods vary from, the one mentioned, non-invasive method – SDT (sensory disorientation torture) – to the invasive use of chemicals to induce pain; the only chemical ever mentioned for this use was the imaginary hyoscine pentothal. Bauer is also able to torture suspects both physically and emotionally and is prepared to do both. Physical torture is usually his primary choice, however should this yield no results, Bauer will move onto emotional, as demonstrated in Season 2 when he leads Ali to believe he has killed his eldest son. Curtis Manning has also demonstrated the possibility that he is trained in, or at least has some experience in, torture when he informs Richard Heller of the effects of an algesic which he is about to inject him with.
24 in other media
More recently, stories taking place within the universe of 24 have been told outside of the TV series, such as comics, novels, a video game, and a movie in 2007/2008.
24: The Game
24: The Game is a video game based on the TV series. The game is exclusive to Sony's PlayStation 2 console and was developed by Sony Computer Entertainment's Cambridge Studios, and was published by 2K Games. Taking place between seasons two and three, 24: The Game features most major actors from those two seasons. This first foray into console gaming also serves to bridge the large gap between the second and third seasons.
Comics
Three graphic novels have been released by IDW Publishing taking place at different time periods within the show. The first, 24: One Shot, attempted to emulate the real-time nature of the show. It was followed by 24 Stories and 24: Midnight Sun, which did not emulate the real-time nature of the show. All three now feature in one book released by Titan Books simply known as 24. A six-part mini-series titled 24: Nightfall will be released starting in November 2006[13]
Books
24: The House Special Subcommittee's Findings at CTU written by Marc Cerasini, was a guide to the first season, as written by an in-universe journalist by the same name. The book contained Jack Bauer's grand jury testimony as well as character profiles and autopsy reports.
An unofficial guide to Season 2 of 24 was released in the UK in 2003, written by Mark Wright.
Three paperback novels have also been published by Harper Entertainment under the title 24: Declassified. They are:
- Operation Hell Gate by Marc Cerasini, released in the fall of 2005
- Veto Power was written by John Whitman, released in the fall of 2005
- Trojan Horse also written by Marc Cerasini, released February 2006
- Cat's Claw also written by John Whitman, released December 2006
- Vanishing Point will be written by Marc Cerasini and is planned for a March 2007. release.[3][14]
In September 2006,"24: The Official Companion Guide" covering Seasons 1 and 2 was released in the US & UK. In early 2007, "24: The Official Companion Guide" covering Seasons 3 and 4 will be released in the US and UK.
"24": Behind the Scenes - a book featuring behind the scenes photographs and pictures.
24: The Movie
Kiefer Sutherland has confirmed that 24: The Movie is in the pipeline, and the show's creators have already started working on the script. The film would be a two-hour representation of a 24-hour day. On 29 May 2006, on the Chris Moyles radio show on BBC Radio 1, Kiefer announced that the shooting of the film will begin on 30 May 2007 (between Seasons 6 and 7), and it is expected to be released between Seasons 7 and 8 in the summer of 2008. In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times, Kiefer confessed, "Anytime [the production team] got really close to having a great idea for having a film, we needed it for episode 18,"[15] meaning that formulating ideas for a film version of the show has been made difficult by the need to employ those ideas in the television show first. The movie became official on June 8.[16]
Mobile
24: Conspiracy is a low budget, mobile-only spin-off of 24 set in Washington, D.C. It spans 24 one-minute episodes and takes place during Day 4, as indicated by a reference to the Heller kidnapping happening that day. It does not take place in real time.
Soundtracks
Various soundtracks have been created for the show, and its properties. The most notable is 24: The Soundtrack which contains nineteen tracks of music composed exclusively for the first three seasons by 24's multi-emmy award winning composer Sean Callery, including the show's full theme song which, prior to the soundtrack's release, had never been aired. A second soundtrack is to be released 13th November In the UK and 14th November in the US with music from seasons 4 and 5. [4]
Action figures
Medicom, a Japanese toy manufacturer, has produced two twelve-inch action figures of Jack Bauer as he appears in Season 4, one with his shirt and vest for field missions and other with suit and tie, as he is on season premiere. Both versions come with cell phone and a hand gun. For 2007, is scheulded to launch another version, now as Jack Bauer appears in Season 5 with short hair, wearing his suburbian shirt, jeans and coach. The new version comes with his hand gun, PDA, a recorder and a shoulder satchel. [5]
Cameo appearances
- Senator John McCain (R-AZ) makes a cameo appearance in the "1:00 PM to 2:00 PM" episode of Season 5. He has a non-speaking role as an unidentified bureaucrat who delivers a file folder to Audrey Raines (Kim Raver), and can be seen in the "split screen" for about six seconds beginning at 1:32:22.
- NASCAR driver Carl Edwards made a cameo appearance with a small speaking part in the "10:00 PM to 11:00 PM" episode of Season 5 which was broadcast on April 3, 2006. [6]
Fan Phone
In the fifth episode of the fourth season, Debbie's cell phone rang with a valid California phone number on the caller ID. Many fans noticed this and began calling the number as soon as the episode concluded. Some received a voice mail message telling them that they called the 24 prop phone and to leave a message. Others talked to live people, including Production Designer Joseph Hodges. Others spoke to stars Kim Raver (Audrey Raines) and Carlos Bernard (Tony Almeida). Hodges later admitted in an interview that director Jon Cassar came up with the idea for the "Fan Phone" because the two of them often got bored scouting new shooting locations and wanted a chance to interact with the audience. Hodges further stated that they received around 80,000 calls on the line during the first week alone.
The Fan Phone number has been spotted elsewhere:
- Debbie's cell phone displays the number after she is killed in Day 4.
- Jack Bauer gives the number during the recovery of the Air Force One "Football" where he told his cell phone number to two civilian campers.
- In Day 5, it was shown in the 18th episode (Midnight–1:00am) as Martha Logan's cell phone number.
- Spotted on the back of a picture of Edgar and Chloe during the season finale of the Day 5.
In both Days 4 and 5, the Fan Phone number is 310-597-3781. The phone number to this day still works. Callers are directed to a Nextel voicemail box if no one answers. The voicemail states:
- Nextel Operator: The mailbox belonging to
- Voice of unknown male: Nextel phone for 24
- Nextel operator: is full. It cannot accept any more messages. Please try again later. Goodbye.
As of December 2006, The phone is still active and accepting messages, although the mailbox is often full. The cast and crew are currently shooting episodes for season 6.
DVD Releases
24's DVD releases had a significant impact in the television series' life. In an interview with IGN in 2002, Sutherland revealed, "Its success in England was phenomenal. It was the biggest show the BBC has ever had. It was the number one DVD there; knocked off Lord of the Rings, which is unheard of for a television show DVD to actually knock-out every feature DVD available. And that's because they showed it without commercials.".[17] The sales of the first season DVD had a growth on the show's viewers on the second season, up to 25%.[18]
