One of the most innovative, thrilling and acclaimed drama series on television, 24, created by Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran, will retain its unique and pioneering format in the sixth season. Each episode will cover one hour of real time, and the season?¡¥s entire story will take place in one day. Once again, viewers will be able to follow several key characters through a day that none of them will ever forget. 24?¡¥s pulsating season five opened with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) forced out of hiding after the shocking assassination of President Palmer (Dennis Haybert), the murder of Michelle Dessler (Reiko Aylesworth) and an attack on Tony Almeida (Carlos Bernard). With fabricated evidence pinning him to Palmer?¡¥s assassination, Bauer became the most wanted man in America. Meanwhile, Russian separatists led by Vladimir Bierko (Julian Sands) took an airport hostage and launched missiles at the Russian presidential motorcade, and when their master plan was quelled, America was threatened with deadly canisters of military-grade nerve gas. In one of the series?¡¥ sharpest turns, it was revealed that ineffectual President Charles Logan (Gregory Itzin), along with Christopher Henderson (Peter Weller), were responsible for the terrorism and murders of the previous hours. As the clock ticked on, unstable First Lady Martha Logan (Jean Smart) witnessed the unthinkable while Jack, teaming with feisty computer wiz Chloe O?¡¥Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub), pursued justice for the day?¡¥s terrifying events
