24 is a current U.S. television action/drama series, produced
by the Fox Network and syndicated worldwide. It is named
24 because the action on the show ostensibly occurs in
"real-time", with each season covering the events
of one day in the life of Jack Bauer and his colleagues
at the Counter Terrorist Unit in Los Angeles, as well
as the actions of both various terrorists and the White
House. Every episode in a season covers the events of
one hour in that day (hence 24 episodes per season). 24
makes frequent use of hand-held cameras and split-screens
to show the actions of various characters concurrently.24
is a thriller which purports to be shown in "real-time",
with each minute of airtime corresponding to a minute
in the lives of the characters.
