Jack Bauer

For all you 24 rookies out there here is a brief low-down!

The programme started in 2001 and throughout each series it has followed the life of Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) as he constantly puts his body on the line for the “good” of the U.S.  The show is presented in a resemblance of real time and each season is a 24-hour period in the life of Bauer. His job usually sees him try to stop major terrorist attacks on the United States.  But throughout 24 his actions put the lives of those who are closest to him in danger, which are followed in every episode, as well as the actions of associated agents, terrorists and government officials.
