Kiefer Sutherland stars in this precedent-setting television series where the entire season takes place in one day, with each of the 24 episodes covering one day, told in real time.

"In the finale of season one, Bauer, who headed up the Los Angeles branch of the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU), thwarted an assassination attempt on the life of Senator David Palmer.

It's been three years since CTU agent Jack Bauer thwarted a terrorist attempt to plunge the United States into war.

Although fired from CTU, Jack Bauer is thrust back into action after a deadly terrorist strike and the kidnapping of his new boss, the U.S. Secretary of Defense.

Season five starts 18 months after Jack Bauer was forced to fake his own death and go underground. Now living under a false name and working in an oil field, Jack leads a quiet life, renting a room with a woman and her son.

The sixth season of 24 picks up 20 months after last season's shocking finale, when Jack Bauer was captured by Chinese government agents and taken, battered and bloodied, to points unknown.
