CIA agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) has exactly 24 hours to save his marriage, his daughter, and the United States.  The kick:  the viewer races through each episode in one hour of real-time.  The show definitively owes its original look to splitscreen technology, through which simultaneous strands of action are woven together into one picture.  With the help of ambitious special effects and spectacular stunts, “24” culminates in a nail-biting and surprising finale.  Kiefer Sutherland won Best Actor at the Golden Globes in 2001.  RTL has secured German rights.
