Stressful sound of torture at the end of each episode. Twists and turns galore. The phones of the anti-terrorist cell are ringing. THE “damn!” A reprise of his character played by Kiefer Sutherland. Airing on FOX in the US from 2001 to 2010, and then making a brief return in 2014, 24 Hours has had no shortage of tricks.

While already airing, there have been repeated talks of a feature film, while a TV movie intended to compensate for the 2008 writers’ strike was created between seasons 6 and 7 with a real-time storyline that aired at two o’clock.
