First airing in November 2001, 24
quickly established itself as one of the best television
series around and solidified itself as a cult classic
icon. Utilizing a novel premise, each season of 24
comprises a single day in lives of its characters, with
each of the 24 episodes representing a one-hour time
segment of that day. Kiefer Sutherland stars in the
imminent role of Jack Bauer, a government agent
periodically faced with enormous challenges within a
single day. Each season is reminiscent of a fast-paced
Hollywood action thriller, but it's only a busy day in the
life of the heroic Bauer…
Season one unfolds in Los Angeles
during the California presidential primary as CIA agent
Jack Bauer and his colleagues uncover a murderous plot to
assassinate front-running candidate David Palmer. With
only 24 hours to uncover the identity of the determined
killer, Jack must race against the clock if he has any
hope of thwarting the plot. Meanwhile, Jack is distracted
by his crumbling marriage and the disappearance of his
rebellious teenage daughter. The clock is ticking… Can
Jack save the man who may become president? And can he do
so while keeping his family intact?
The 24 (Season 1) DVD features a
number of breathtaking episodes including the season
premiere in which the groundwork for the series and the
season is laid. Jack plays chess with his daughter Kim (Elisha
Cuthbert) before receiving a call from Nina Myers (Sarah
Clarke), his colleague at the Los Angeles Counter
Terrorism Unit, telling him to report in for an emergency
meeting. Meanwhile, Jack and his wife Teri (Leslie Hope)
realize that Kim snuck out of the house during the phone
call… When Jack arrives at headquarters, he's informed
of a plot to murder Senator David Palmer, the first
serious African-American presidential candidate… Other
notable episodes from Season 1 include (#8) in which Nina
and Tony discover the identity of the mole who is working
for Gaines, and (#23) in which terrorists threaten to kill
Kim unless Jack complies with their wishes…
