Without question, no one has fictionally saved the world time and time again quite like the one and only Jack Bauer. The heart racing FOX crime drama series 24 found Kiefer Sutherland’s iconic character rushing to stop political crises, assassination attempts, terrorism, cyber attacks, and what-have-you within the impossible span of a single day.

The Emmy Award-winner for Outstanding Drama Series took place in real-time, giving the narrative the highest stakes imaginable. And even though we followed Jack Bauer’s efforts to save the world minute by minute, never once did 24 fail to entertain with every second.

24 spanned eight full seasons, 192 episodes, one television movie, and a 12-episode limited event series titled 24: Live Another Day. Before FOX kicks off a new era of saving the world in a crunch with the reboot series 24: Legacy, relive every tensely dramatic Jack Bauer moment.
