Counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer fights the bad guys of the world, a day at a time. With each week's episode unfolding in real-time, "24" covers a single day in the life of Bauer each season.
Counter-terrorism operative Jack Bauer, the guy every man secretly wanted to be, kicks ass! Jack doesn't follow the rules, he just does what's right. Even when asking for a saw to cut off the head of a man he'd just shot, in CTU headquarters no less, so he can take it to some bad guys to prove he's a bad guy too. This guy does it all, gets in every kind of scrape possible and shouts "Damb it!" a lot.
