The thrilling clock begins to tick again, but this time – the terror comes from within! Jack Bauer is back and ready to right the wrongs of the Country’s most powerful and surprising enemies when the “24” - Season Five explodes onto DVD December 5th from Fox Home Entertainment and we are giving away five copies of the set.

Packed with thrilling bonus features including a DVD exclusive Season Six prequel, insiders look at the show’s 100th episode, deleted/extended scenes, cast & crew commentary, four behind-the-scenes featurettes, exclusive DVD-ROM content and more, the “24” - Season Five seven-disc DVD set will be available for the suggested retail price of $59.98.

Recent winner of five Emmy Awards including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Kiefer Sutherland), the highest-rated fifth season of the critically-acclaimed series speeds onto DVD with another countdown of adrenaline-charged drama that will have viewers on the edge of their seats for another 24 hours of action and suspense. 

One of the most innovative and thrilling drama series on television, the gripping fifth season of “24” featured even more plot twists and body count than anyone thought possible, along with several new faces to the cast including Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings trilogy), Peter Weller (Robocop) and Jean Smart (“Designing Women”) as First Lady Martha Logan, whose stellar performance garnered an Emmy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. 

Eighteen months after faking his own death, Jack Bauer is forced to return to Los Angeles when it becomes apparent that the only four people who know he is still alive are being systematically targeted for assassination.  The assassinations coincide with the signing of an anti-terrorism treaty between Russia and the U.S., leading Jack to suspect a link between the assassinations, the treaty, and a group of Russian terrorists.  But as events slowly unfold it becomes apparent that the day’s horrific events were originally set in motion by someone within our country’s own administration – an individual with the power and resources to thwart Jack’s every move.
