DVD (short for Digital Versatile (or Video) Disc) is a home media format. Developed in the early 1990s, the format gives higher resolution picture and sound than VHS, and allows for special features to be added alongside the main feature. These advantages over VHS ultimately led to the decline of that format.
Every season of 24 (except 24: Legacy) is available in the United States as a full DVD box set, as is the 2008 television film 24: Redemption. Below is a listing of 24 DVD releases by region.

Midnight. Jack Bauer, head of the CIA's Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit, is suddenly thrust into a chaotic and exhausting 24-hour marathon of death, deception and terror as he struggles to prevent the assassination of a presidential candidate, find the traitor within his own organization, and save his kidnapped wife and daughter. | ||||

But then the FBI receives a phone call threatening the release of a deadly virus in Los Angeles if Salazar isn't released from prison within six hours.

Although fired from CTU, Jack Bauer is thrust back into action after a deadly terrorist strike and the kidnapping of his new boss, the U.S. Secretary of Defense.

Eighteen months after faking his own death, Jack Bauer returns to L.A. when it becomes clear that the only four people who know he is still alive are being targeted for assassination.

A broken man, physically and mentally, Jack agrees to the exchange. But when he learns that his new captor, Abu Fayed, is actually the man behind the attacks and that his own sacrifice is meaningless, Jack lashes out and escapes.
