The episode takes place between midnight and 1:00 a.m. on the day of the California Presidential Primary. It chronicles one hour in the day of Jack Bauer, a government agent called into work at the Counter Terrorist Unit, his daughter Kim who has snuck out of the house, his wife Teri who goes out searching for Kim, and Senator David Palmer who is seeking to become the first African-American President of the United States. CTU believes that David Palmer is being targeted for assassination.
The 24 pilot was originally scheduled to air on October 31, 2001, but was preempted due to the September 11 attacks. A quick scene of an explosion was also cut from the episode after the attacks.[1] It was met with very positive critical reception. Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for this episode.
