24 is a current Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning American television series, created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, and is 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.

Each season covers the events of a 24 hour period in the life of federal agent Jack Bauer (played by Kiefer Sutherland) as he tries to prevent one or more domestic terrorist attacks, set largely in Los Angeles. The show also follows Jack's colleagues at the Counter Terrorist Unit Los Angeles office, as well as the actions of the terrorists, a civilian family and typically an important political figure such as a senator or president.

The sixth season will begin in January of 2007.

Season synopses

The first five seasons 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, backstabbings, 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.

Each season occurs 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. The show is set largely in Los Angeles, so the "time" is set in Pacific Standard Time for Season 4 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."

Day 1

Main article: 24 (season 1)

In Season 1, Jack Bauer's wife and daughter are kidnapped by a terrorist group plotting to kill Democratic presidential candidate David Palmer. A mole inside L.A. Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) 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 uncovered suggests that there may be another mole inside CTU.

Day 2

Main article: 24 (season 2)

In Season 2, approximately 18 months after Season 1, Jack is dealing with the death of his wife Teri and the estrangement of his daughter Kim, who believes Jack's dangerous line of work caused her mother's death. 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, 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.

Day 3

Main article: 24 (season 3)

In Season 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's new partner is Chase Edmunds, he is also romantically involved with his daughter Kim, who is now also working at CTU. Jack is also fighting a heroin addiction he picked up in his undercover assignment.

Day 4

Main article: 24 (season 4)

In Season 4, 18 months after preventing a virus outbreak, Jack Bauer now works in Washington D.C. for Secretary of Defense James Heller and is in a serious relationship with the secretary's daughter Audrey Raines. CTU is under the command of Erin Driscoll as terrorist cells operating inside the United States kidnap Jack's new boss and love interest. CTU soon discovers it is only part of a much larger plan. Jack has to work with CTU to prevent the continuous attacks by the terrorist group under the lead of Habib Marwan. Each of Marwan's attacks bridge up to the next, resulting in a deadly change of scenery for President Keeler and his administration.

Day 5

Main article: 24 (season 5)

18 months after Season 4, Jack is living under an alias with a family in Southeastern California. Meanwhile, an unknown figure orders the assassination of the four people who know Jack is alive in attempt 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 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 deep within the White House.

Day 6

Main article: 24 (season 6)

24 received 12 Emmy nominations in 2006, including Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor (Kiefer Sutherland) and supporting nods to Jean Smart (Martha Logan) and Gregory Itzin (Charles Logan). [3]. Itzin said in an interview following the news, "So just to end up being one of five is obviously a big surprise and very gratifying. But in another way, I wasn't surprised because the show is so damn good, it should get recognized."[4]

At the Primetime Emmys, 24 went on to win Outstanding Drama Series and Sutherland received his first Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series award [5] and Director Jon Cassar an Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series[6]. The show also won Best Dramatic Underscore Music Composition and Best Single Camera Editing.

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 of 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.[11] Thus, the series reached its ratings peak in 2006.

Elements

Real time

File:24 split clock screenshot.jpg
An example of a 24 split-screen with the running clock

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. 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 — lay 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 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.

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

Main article: 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. 24: The Game takes place between seasons two and three, with most major actors from those two seasons providing their likenesses and voices. 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 [12]

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.

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 was expected to be released summer of 2006, but was delayed to January 2007. Written by John Whitman.
  • Vanishing Point will be written by Marc Cerasini and is planned for a March 2007. release.[1]

[13]

In 2006 an Official Companion covering Seasons 1 and 2 is to be released. There are no further details at this point but it is to be published by Titan Books.

24 Magazine

The official bimonthly magazine, with interviews with cast and crew and more, made its debut on 13 April 2006 and in May 2006 in both the US and UK when its first issue was published by Titan Magazines.

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,"[14] 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. [15]

Mobile

Main article: 24: Conspiracy

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

Main article: 24: The Soundtrack

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 producer Sean Callery, including the show's full theme song which, prior to the soundtrack's release, had never been aired.

Action figures

Medicom, a Japanese toy manufacturer, has produced two twelve-inch action figures of Jack Bauer as he appears in Season 4.

Top Trumps

Winning Moves released a "24 limited editions" version of their Top Trumps game in the UK in 2005. The pack contains 30 cards with significant characters from the first four seasons of the TV show.

Behind-the-scenes information

General trivia

  • The original concept for the series was a romantic comedy that depicted a wedding in real-time, but it was scrapped in favor of the action/drama/thriller idea.[16]
  • Completing an entire season, including pre- and post-production work, takes ten and a half months.
  • The popular political drama The West Wing makes a reference to CTU, in the Season 4 episode "Debate Camp", with the following exchange in a conference call. "Sir, it's Ken, on your order we'll put CTU on high-alert." To which President Bartlet replies "You have the order."
  • Dennis Haysbert provided the voice for Colonel Irving Lambert in Ubisoft's game Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. Lambert is the boss of Third Eschelon agent Sam Fisher who, much like Jack Bauer, must do whatever he can to protect the interests and citizens of the United States.
  • Six actors in 24 have portrayed Secret Service Agents in movies: Kiefer Sutherland in The Sentinel, Roger Cross in X2, both Xander Berkeley and Glenn Morshower in Air Force One, Jude Ciccolella in Head of State and Dennis Haysbert in Absolute Power.
  • In Season 5, most of the actors have worked together already. Peter Weller (Henderson), Ray Wise (Vice President Hal Gardner) and Paul McCrane (Graham) all starred together in Robocop (1987).
  • According to 24: The Game, Chase Edmunds and Kim Bauer first met when Chase, working undercover, assisted the escape of a terrorist from CTU Los Angeles, with Kim as his hostage. Interestingly enough, Chase meets Jack a few hours later while Jack tries to rescue Kim and works with him for the remainder of the day.

Template:Spoiler

  • During seasons 1–3, Tony Almeida had a Chicago Cubs coffee mug on his desk and in Seasons 4 and 5, it reappeared at his home. Tony was born in Chicago, as was Carlos Bernard. When shooting the bomb attack in Season 2, it was decided that the mug was not going to survive the attack. Bernard tossed the mug into the air, expecting it to shatter on impact, but it became caught on a camera wire and survived. After the mug was retrieved, it was decided to be indestructible and remained on the set. Fans have christened this mug "Cubby." Curiously, the Cubs play on the north side of Chicago; according to the Declassified novel Operation Hell Gate, Tony is from the south side, where the Chicago White Sox play.
  • Shots of a satellite in space in the pilot episode were taken from the movie Enemy of the State.[17]
  • A scene from the pilot episode depicting a Boeing 747 exploding was re-edited for broadcast, with the image of the plane exploding removed, in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, which had occurred less than two months earlier. [18]
  • Xander Berkeley and Sarah Clarke were married after meeting on set during season one. They kept their relationship a secret from the producers and castmates for a while.
  • There are three members of the 24 cast who were in the 1989 movie, The Fabulous Baker Boys. Xander Berkeley (Seasons 1, 2), Albert Hall (Season 3), and Gregory Itzin (Seasons 4, 5).
  • At the power plant, before Palmer's breakfast speech in Season 1, Jack runs into old friend and Palmer staffer, Jessica Abrams. In conversation, she refers to mutual old friend Tracy Zigler who had erroneously reported that Jack and Teri had divorced. Both characters were named after members of the production crew; Jessica Abrams was the script coordinator and Tracy Zigler was the script supervisor.
  • Provisions have had to be made in the script for the real life injuries of cast members, due to the real-time format. For instance, Kiefer Sutherland fell out of his on-set trailer early in Season 2, so a scene had to be written in where he removes a piece of shrapnel from his leg after surviving a plane crash. This explains the limp he had for a few episodes. Carlos Bernard also injured himself on set, breaking his ankle whilst playing basketball in a break in filming. A scene was then filmed that featured Jack breaking Tony's ankle during an escape from CTU.
  • As an April Fool's joke on the crew, producer/director Jon Cassar revealed this fake ending to Day 2: Palmer's press conference ends and he goes down to his limo. He gets in successfully and rides off. After a while, we find out that someone is sitting next to him. That someone is Nina Myers. We realize that Palmer was in on the whole thing. We then shift to a scene in the desert. We close in on a parachute, then pan over to reveal George Mason, who jumped out of the plane before the bomb exploded. The end. This joke was revealed in the Season 2 DVD special features.
  • In the third season, a website, sylviaimports.com, is given to President Palmer by Saunders, who wants Palmer to send him a list through the website. The website, registered by Rodney Charters (director of photography), leads to a "Thank you" note from the crew of 24.
  • Of all characters introduced from Day One, only Jack Bauer, Kim Bauer, Mike Novick, Aaron Pierce, and Mandy remain alive (Milo Pressman's whereabouts after Day One remain unaccounted for). Of these, only Jack Bauer and Aaron Pierce have appeared in every season of the show.
  • According to an article at BBC News [2], Variety and Hollywood Reporter claim that Kiefer has signed up for a further three seasons.
  • In Season 5 Episode 20, the flight Jack boards to get the recording is Flight 520, the same number of the episode.
  • In the final episode of Season 5, Bill Buchanan gives a folded photo to Chloe after clearing out Edgar's locker. On the back side of the photo there are a bunch of scribbles, in those scribbles is the sentence "Jack is dead" written backwards (possibly regarding to Jack's faked death at the end of Season 4).
  • The Punisher (Frank Castle) according to the 2004 film, also worked at CTU. The actual agent Castle (who died in Season 4) could possibly be an inside joke.
  • Kiefer Sutherland is the only actor to appear in every episode of the series.
  • Although the writers changed their plans on Chase Edmunds's fate, they had a deleted scene planned in which Chase gets killed while he was having his hand re-attached in the hospital.
  • This is a second time in which Dennis Haysbert's character was given the 21-gun salute. The first one was in the 1990 movie Navy SEALs.
  • With the exception of portions of Season 1, Jack Bauer and other CTU agents are seen using only Sprint (later Sprint/Nextel) phones, though phone models have varied during the course of each "day". In the season 1 cliffhanger, before the 2004 Sprint/Nextel merger occured, Jack is using a Motorola Nextel phone to call his wife from the docks before she is murdered.

Cameo appearances

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.

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." [19]. The sales of the first season DVD had a growth on the show's viewers on the second season, up to 25% [20].
