24 "Redemption"

As any fany of the Fox show "24' already knows, last night at 8pm est, was the worldwide premier of 24"Redemption". In this two hour event, Jack Bauer (the star of the show) is found in a foreign country torn by war and poverty. He's first seen unloading a supply truck to small African children at a local school. It appears that Jack is trying to leave his past behind and has headed to meet up with his friend Carl. At the same time, Jack also finds himself confronted by Frank Tramell, an ellected goverment official whom is sent to Africa to summon Jack Bauer to Court. Jack does not comply with Frank but rather chooses to neglect his responsibility to attend court. When two of the boys go missing, Jack's longtime friend, Carl Benton sets out to look for the boys. He comes to find that one is dead while the other is alive but has been wounded badly. He quickly carries the boy to his jeep and heads back to the school. At the same time, rebel forces have also located the school and are moving in on their location. While Carl makes his way back to the school, Jack is given the task of defending the building from invading forces and keeping the children safe. A short while after Jack disposes of numerous enemies, he is captured and held captive by the militia. Carl eventually shows up and rescues Jack and the children. From this point on, both Jack and Carl lead the children to the United States Embasy where they will be safe from harm. Along the trip, Carl Benton is caught on a landmine and chooses to sacrafice his own life in order to protect Jack and the children. When Jack reaches the embasy, he again is confronted by Frank Tramell whom is in charge of the evactuation process. Jack is suddenly faced with the chose of dodging his court order and putting the children in harm's way, or actually turning himself in and protecting the children. Jack decides to turn himself in to the goverment and the children and both he and the children are able to escape the country just as the gates of the embasy are knocked down by civialians. While all this is going on across the world, the United States is preparing itself for a new female presidet whom already has her hands full with the crisis involving rebels in Africa. After watch the 2 hour premier, I was really excited for the new seventh season which is going to air this January 11th. I'm sure after watching this short preview, most fans cannot wait for season 7 and all it has in store.
