CENTURY CITY, Calif.
– The pulse-pounding countdown gets a jumpstart as 24:
Redemption, the unprecedented feature-length event from
television’s most provocative and suspenseful series, arrives
on DVD November 25th from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment,
the Tuesday immediately following the network television premiere.
24: Redemption bridges the gap between Seasons
6 and 7 and is the first new material from “24”
producers in over a year-and-a-half, the two-hour broadcast special
will premiere Sunday, November 23rd on FOX. Audiences last saw Jack
Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) literally standing on the precipice of
a mountain cliff grappling with the reality that for all his heroics,
he’d once more lost the woman he loved. 24: Redemption
catches up with Bauer four years later on the African continent
where he has sought solace in missionary work. As the action unfolds
on the day of the U.S. Presidential Inauguration, he finds himself
in the midst of a bloody uprising in the small fictitious African
nation of Sangala where a ruthless dictator is drafting innocent
children as soldiers in his army. As the vicious warlord descends
on an orphanage in search of recruits, Jack enters into a one-man
crusade at the behest of a friend to rescue the children and get
them to safety.
