Summary
The ex-CTU agent Tony Almeida, long believed dead, recently founded a secret investigation team with two former CTU colleagues to uncover a conspiracy at several levels of the US government and at the same time to get to the head of the conspiracy, whom he personally Wants to kill revenge for the murder of his wife. The group passes a hardware module that can be used to overcome critical US infrastructures to another group, led by criminal Michael Emerson , in order to use it as bait to find the Sangalese Colonel Dubaku, who is involved in the conspiracy and supported by Emerson's group. Ex-CTU agent Jack Bauer helps both the FBI and Almeida's group to find Dubaku, who is still using the module for a terrorist attack that kills almost 300 people and, with his threat to Dubaku, US President Allison Taylor to withdraw the US - Tried to blackmail troops from his home country. With the capture of Dubaku, the FBI receives a list of the names of more than 100 people involved in the conspiracy, whose arrest then begins.
Not on the list, however, is the name of co-conspirator Jonas Hodges, who runs the private security and military company Starkwood and who supports the assault team led by the Sangalese General Juma in the invasion of the White House . This aims to kill Taylor, but ends with the intervention of the ex-CTU colleagues with the killing of the invaders. Then Hodges threatens the president to enforce his demand for extensive military-political participation in using a bio- weapon against the United States , which he had developed with Juma's help. Bauer threatens to die soon from physical contact with the bioweapon; despite his symptoms getting worse, he helps Almeida and the FBI stop Hodges. After the bioweapon is destroyed, Almeida lures Wilson over to her, but both are arrested by the FBI. It turns out that the secret organization led by Wilson consists of other representatives of US security companies in addition to Hodges and wanted to destabilize the United States with the use of the biological weapon in order to benefit from the chaos it caused.
Parallel to these events, the members of Allison Taylor's family are confronted with serious personal problems. Her husband Henry determines that their son did not commit suicide, but was murdered on behalf of Hodges. Shortly thereafter, Henry is taken hostage by Dubaku and seriously injured when he is freed. The president's daughter Olivia is helping to ensure that her mother's chief of staff resigns from his position. After receiving this provisional transfer herself, she secretly commissions the murder of Hodges in order to avenge the death of her brother.

History and initial situation
For 65 days, the People's Liberation Army led by General Benjamin Juma has been carrying out ethnic cleansing in the fictional African state of Sangala , which has so far killed over 300,000 people. With the United Nations unable to stop the killings, the new US President Allison Taylor recently sent a fleet of US naval forces to Sangala to overthrow Juma's coup regime and stop mass murder . However, it has not yet issued an attack order. In addition to Ule Matobo, the Sangala Prime Minister overthrown by Juma's regime, ex-CTU secret agent Jack Bauer has left Sangala involuntarily, so that he can no longer avoid a hearing in the United States regarding his torture -ridden interrogation.
Technology theft has been going on in the United States for several weeks. The CTU was recently disbanded. After Allison Taylor took office, her son Roger died, officially of suicide.
8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Before a Senate panel in Washington, DC , under the direction of Senator Blaine Mayer, investigating human rights violations by the CTU, Jack Bauer, testifying, judged the torture he carried out in 2002 as legitimate because he had thereby protected the United States. Shortly after 8:00 am, the FBI pulled Bauer out of the session to help investigate the thefts. They were committed by a group that includes Bauer's ex-colleague Tony Almeida, who was believed to be dead. It forces abducted from her head developer of the CIP - Firewall , the critical infrastructure protection, using stolen parts for modification of a hardware module. The group thus overcomes air traffic control at New York 's JFK International Airport and causes a near-collision between two landing commercial aircraft as a warning to the US government .
Bauer investigates the man Gabriel Schector as a possible helper of the group in the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, whose head Larry Moss strictly rejects the use of torture several times in the course of the plot. When Schector wanted to divulge information after Bauer threatened to torture him, he was shot by the sniper Alan Tanner. Fearing that the FBI has been infiltrated, Bauer and the FBI agent Renee Walker, who is assigned to guard Bauer, pursue the sniper to the group's hiding place, where they arrest Almeida. Meanwhile, Michael Emerson, the head of the group, brought the CIP module to his client, the Sangalese Colonel Iké Dubaku, who is in Washington, Juma's right hand. Dubaku has the US government employee Nichols supplied with information that a mole in the FBI headquarters gives him. At around 10 a.m., Dubaku asked President Taylor to confirm the withdrawal of the US carrier combat group by 1 p.m. and threatened to use the CIP module to kill tens of thousands of Americans.
With the help of the FBI arrested Almeida, Bauer comes into contact with his ex-CTU colleagues Bill Buchanan and Chloe O'Brian. You are investigating secretly and without a government mandate with the aim of uncovering a conspiracy that also extends into the FBI and with which the Juma regime has infiltrated the US government. Bauer only now learns that Almeida faked his death with Emerson's help and then joined Emerson's group because of deep dislike for the state, before joining the group of undercover agents . So that Almeida can be smuggled back into Emerson's group with the aim of finding Dubaku and securing the CIP module, Bauer, Buchanan and O'Brian free Almeida from FBI custody. Pretending to be an accomplice to Emerson, Bauer and Almeida assist in the kidnapping of the Matobo couple from their residence, commissioned by Dubaku.
Walker interrogates the arrested Tanner, whereby the FBI learns of the group's plan to kidnap the Matobos. Because Walker used torture during interrogation, the Attorney General has her investigated. Walker is captured because of her unauthorized observation of the Matobo abduction by Emerson's group, executed by Bauer and Almeida under Emerson's pretense, and shortly afterwards picked up by Buchanan and O'Brian. After Emerson realizes the double game of Bauers and Almeidas, he is mortally wounded by them. When the Matobos, secretly equipped with tracking devices, are handed over to the Nichols sent by Dubaku, Almeida and Bauer thwart their murder by Nichols.
The First Gentleman Henry Taylor learns of Rogers girlfriend Samantha Roth that Roger did not commit suicide but was murdered, and receives its evidence, therefore, Roger was about the involvement of a US government politician in stock market speculation regarding the crisis in Sangala to discover . The Secret Service agent Brian Gedge, who is responsible for guarding Henry , and who, together with his colleague Edward Vossler, on Dubaku's instructions, wants to prevent the evidence from becoming known, murders Roth before Henry thwarted his own murder by killing Gedge at around 2 p.m.
President Taylor lets Dubaku's ultimatum pass because she no longer wants to let the mass murder in Sangala happen. Therefore, shortly after 1 p.m., Dubaku uses the CIP module to bring two airliners into collision in the immediate range of vision of the Oval Office , killing at least 270 people. Because she does not want to accept Dubaku's demand afterwards, the US Secretary of State resigns from his position in view of the danger to the US population.
2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Bauer, Walker, Buchanan and Almeida storm Dubaku's operations center and free the Matobos in the process; the CIP module is destroyed and Dubaku escapes. This will halt the terrorist attack launched by Dubaku on a chemical plant in Ohio before it left thousands of victims. Ule Matobo secretly takes Bauer, Walker and Buchanan to the White House , where they explain to the President their role in previous events in which Buchanan and O'Brian baited Emerson's group with the CIP module to get to Dubaku reach.
With Vossler's help, Dubaku takes the First Gentleman hostage and, shortly after 3 p.m., threatens to assassinate him and demands that the US forces withdraw from Sangala and extradite Ule Matobo by 4 p.m. To save Henry, Bauer and Walker seek help from the Moss that has so far emerged from Walker's murder. Despite Moss' prohibition to use torture, Bauer and Walker torture Vossler with the threat of murdering his family and learn about Henry's place of imprisonment; Bauer kills Vossler in self-defense. When Bauer and Walker storm the village shortly before 4 p.m. Henry is seriously injured, but rescued. At the same time, Dubaku has the vehicle with a double sent by the White House destroyed by Ule Matobo by shell fire. After Henry is wounded, Allison takes her daughter Olivia to the White House to keep her safe from the previously undiscovered conspirators.
Having become aware of Dubaku's apartment in Henry's captivity, the farmer and Walker use Dubaku's friend Marika Donoso to let her lead them to Dubaku, who had previously lied to them about his true identity and now wants to flee to Belize with her . For the satellite surveillance of Dubaku and Donoso, Moss employs Chloe O'Brian at the FBI headquarters - unofficially because of the suspected mole there. Sean Hillinger, who spies in the FBI together with his colleague Erika for the Dubaku-related Ryan Burnett - Senator Mayer's chief of staff - undetectedly obstructs Donoso's surveillance. In desperation, Donoso causes a traffic accident with the car that is transporting her and Dubaku, in which she dies and he is seriously injured. Bauer finds a memory card under his skin that contains the names of over 100 people involved in the conspiracy, including Sean and Erika. When O'Brian accesses the data in the FBI headquarters, Sean tries to prevent his exposure by killing Erikas, but is convicted of a spy shortly afterwards.
The President ordered Mayer to the White House to convince him to appreciate Bauer's achievements that day. Burnett accompanies him there. Shortly before 6 p.m., Almeida, citing a source in Emerson's group, informed Bauer that Juma was planning a 7 p.m. terrorist attack in Washington, DC and was supported by Burnett. To interrogate Burnett about the exact target of the attack, Bauer returns to the White House and O'Brian secretly deletes Burnett's name from the list of conspirators whose arrest is about to begin. When O'Brian's illegal act is discovered by the FBI, she is arrested and the White House alerted. While the President in the Oval Office convinces Mayer to pardon Bauer with regard to the allegations of torture, Bauer tortures Burnett in another room with an electric stun gun before Bauer is arrested shortly before he received the requested information.
Meanwhile, Juma has a helper murdered in Dubaku hospital. Walker pursues the helper alone into the hiding place of Juma and his roughly 12-strong, heavily armed task force on the Potomac River , over which the troops went to their target, the White House. Walker's information about the target of the attack did not reach the White House until after the invasion began. Juma and his troops penetrate underground into the White House, kill numerous Secret Service agents and take several people hostage, including Buchanan, Bauer, the president and her daughter. In the invasion and capture of Allison, whom Juma intends to kill, Juma is helped by Jonas Hodges, founder and board member of the private US security and military company Starkwood.
8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
With the threat of murdering the hostages, Juma is forcing the president to give a speech broadcast live on the Internet in which she must confess her "crimes" against humanity in Sangala. In order to overwhelm the hostage-takers, Buchanan sacrifices his life by triggering a methane gas explosion that Bauer has secretly prepared . Juma and his accomplices are killed as a result of the explosion and when Moss ordered the FBI to storm the White House against the orders of the US Vice President .
Ethan Kanin, Chief of Staff of the White House , lets the FBI continue the interrogation of Burnett by Bauer - on his own responsibility so as not to incriminate the president in case of problems - in order to identify Juma's external supporters. However, John Quinn, who works for Starkwood, murders Burnett before he can testify, and attaches the guilt to the murder by manipulating the evidence, which is why Bauer flees from the FBI. With Walker's unofficial help, Bauer learns of Quinn's connection to Starkwood and of Mayer's investigation into the company that began months ago. Therefore, Bauer goes to Mayer's house, whose investigative information helps both of them to discover that Mayer's main informant was also murdered by Quinn. Through an exchange of knowledge they now realize that Juma's regime had a bio- weapon manufactured by Starkwood tested on the inhabitants of a Sangalese village, who died excruciatingly as a result. In return for Juma's arms development aid, Hodges supported the regime in perpetrating the terrorist attacks that day.
It is also Quinn who murders Mayer in the presence of Bauer, before he is fatally injured by Bauer himself. After Bauer learned from Quinn's information that Starkwood was expecting the bioweapon back in the port of Alexandria that evening , Bauer, supported by Almeida, stole the ISO container with the weapon container there , which was slightly damaged and Almeida was captured by Starkwood mercenaries becomes. Before the mercenaries take possession of the weapon container again at around 11 p.m., Bauer comes into direct contact with the substance in it when the leak is closed. Blood tests show that Bauer is infected with the pathogen consisting of pathogenic prions and is soon in danger of dying from the non-contagious, Creutzfeldt-Jakob- like disease that is triggered .
Olivia tries to extort his resignation with the unproven accusation that Kanin is personally responsible for the corruption in the government. In addition to lying to her mother, she also gives information about Kanin's orders regarding the interrogation of Burnett by Bauer to a journalist, who then confronts Kanin with the information. Assuming Bauer was the murderer of Burnett and Mayer, Kanin takes political responsibility for the murders and resigns from his position. Allison therefore appoints her daughter as Acting Chief of Staff of the White House.
After the weapon case arrived shortly after 11 p.m. on the 8 km² company site in Virginia, which is home to a 1,500-strong private army , Hodges has the weapon ready for use against the United States. Hodges' goal is to save Starkwood from being broken up by the US government, which the company has become too powerful. Hodges' assistant Greg Seaton saves time for the preparations by giving the FBI false information about the exact location of the guns while protecting Almeida from his execution, on the basis of which the President informed the FBI - consciously in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act due to the support of Navy SEALs - has a raid carried out, which is unsuccessful and has to be stopped due to lack of evidence of the existence of the weapon.
Doug Knowles, CEO of Starkwood, helps Almeida, who remained secretly on the premises after the FBI's withdrawal, to get to the bioweapon storage facility and is murdered by Hodges for lack of support for Hodges' plan. Bauer, increasingly suffering from the symptoms of the disease, helps the FBI track down the bioweapon. Since Almeida now proves the existence and exact location of the weapon to the FBI and the President, the President orders the location to be bombed by F / A-18 jet fighters in order to destroy the weapon . By blackmailing the president against densely populated areas on the US east coast by shooting down three surface -to-surface missiles armed with the pathogen , he forces a refrain from the bombing and a personal conversation with the president, in which he has extensive co-creation rights for Starkwood in US defense policy .
Almeida blows up the rocket fuel tanks, so that the rockets are destroyed and the bioweapons containers are believed to be completely destroyed. Because Hodges can no longer uphold his threat, the President has him arrested in the Oval Office. The Starkwood employee Robert Galvez escapes with a canister of the bio weapon and is therefore pursued by Moss, who wants to bring Almeida back to the FBI. When Moss attempts to capture Galvez, Almeida and Galvez cooperatively murder Moss.
Jack Bauer would like to save his daughter Kim from witnessing his death and therefore would not let her help him as part of an experimental stem cell therapy .
2 to 8 a.m.
Spying among the agents of the FBI now led by Walker, Almeida helps Galvez escape undetected with the bio-weapons container. To do this, they lead over 20 agents into a trap that is fatal for many. Even through a contradiction in Almeida's statement regarding an informant, which has meanwhile become clear, Bauer discovers Almeida's double game, but cannot stop him because of another seizure caused by illness.
It turns out that Hodges works for a secret organization, which is led by the backer Alan Wilson and whose members communicate anonymously with each other. The organization had commissioned Hodges with the development of the bioweapon, but did not plan for Hodges to use the weapon on his own initiative. To keep the imprisoned Hodges from revealing information about the organization, Wilson wants Hodges to die. To this end, he lets Cara Bowden, who appears as a mediator among the members of the organization, with a stolen identity as a lawyer, smuggle a poison capsule to Hodges in the White House. By taking the capsule during the interrogation-related transfer to the FBI, Hodges suffers a heart attack , but is saved from death by paramedics.
Almeida also works for the secret organization that, with his help - brokered by Bowden - procured the bioweapons container. In return for the surrender of the weapon, Galvez, commissioned by Almeida, demands information about its buyer and is therefore murdered by Almeida. At the suggestion of Almeida, the members of the organization agree to take advantage of the unstable US security situation caused by Hodges' attack attempt and to use the bio- weapon in rush hour traffic that morning . Almeida and Bowden use the Pakistani Muslim Jibraan Al-Zarian as a scapegoat for the planned attack on the Washington Metro because of his parentage .
In return for being part of a witness protection program and ensuring the safety of himself and his family, Hodges reveals information about the secret organization in FBI custody. Its members represent security companies and consider the USA to be too weakly armed against the threat of terrorist attacks. In order to secure power and influence in the restabilization of the United States through the shock of such attacks and to prove to the government that they were indispensable, the organization representatives had planned to use the biological weapon for terrorist attacks in the following year and to blame the innocent. Because of the chaos caused by Hodges today, the government assumes that the organization will carry out the next terrorist attack much earlier.
In order to find falsified evidence, the FBI therefore begins a surveillance operation - which is not entirely legal and also consists of racial profiling - for which it reactivates the CTU servers and uses O'Brian's help. As a result, Jack Bauer and the FBI track down Al-Zarian and Almeida, which enables them to thwart the attack, which destroys the biological weapon, at the last minute. Through Bowden's threat to have Kim Bauer murdered by her accomplices, Jack lets himself be blackmailed into freeing Almeida from FBI detention, whereby Jack himself comes under Almeida's power.
Almeida wants to extract the pathogen from Jack's body in order to produce another supply of the bioweapon. The project also serves Almeida to win the trust of Wilson, so that he can arrange a meeting with Bowden in an industrial area. Only now reveals Almeida to Jack that he thinks Wilson is primarily responsible for the murder of his pregnant wife Michelle Dessler and the ex-President David Palmer ( → Season 5 ). In order to take revenge on Wilson, who has been pursued by him for three years, Almeida has supported Buchanan's secret group and wants to use Jack, who is now equipped with an explosive belt , to kill Wilson. Thanks to the intervention of the FBI, Kim is released from her hostage detention. With information from one of the hostage takers, the FBI discovers Bowden and Almeida's hiding place and storms it. Almeida kills Bowden and, like Wilson, is arrested by the FBI.
Because Olivia Taylor does not agree to witness protection for Hodges and she wants to avenge the death of her brother, she hires a friend to kill Hodges, who then dies in a car bomb explosion . Because her behavior arouses the suspicion of the Secret Service agent Aaron Pierce, who is responsible for her, Pierce and Kanin are able to secure an audio recording that proves Olivia's murder assignment. After Olivia has admitted the murder assignment to Allison, Allison has her prosecuted.
After Jack had prayed with an imam he had previously falsely suspected for the purpose of forgiveness of his sins , Kim started stem cell therapy against his will. To prevent Wilson from being released for lack of evidence, Walker begins torturing Wilson on his own initiative.
production
At the beginning of 2007, there were public discussions in which the series was also accused of glorifying torture. Dissatisfied with this situation, the broadcaster FOX and the 24 producers then pursued the intention of realigning the content of the series and also countering the accusation of glorifying torture. When planning this realignment, the scriptwriters initially intended to make the protagonist Jack Bauer atone for his acts of torture by doing charitable work in Africa. When FOX had doubts about this concept, the authors suggested that the broadcaster break with the real-time principle so that Bauer's return to the USA, which lasted several hours, could be bridged. The authors developed this concept, but declared it unrealizable about three weeks before the planned start of filming for the seventh season, mainly because it made Bauer too far from the terrorist threats in the USA and from his personality of the first six seasons away. The authors then agreed to make Bauer the antagonist, who is hunted down by an FBI agent and ultimately converted to good. At least for the first two episodes, the scripts were based on this concept. In summer 2007 - the production work was already several weeks late compared to the original schedule - FOX rejected the concept as implausible. The authors drafted a further plot constellation, according to which Bauer's character initially remains unchanged, but the controversy surrounding torture is better addressed with a new female figure. The authors chose to abolish CTU and confront Bauer in the act in Washington DC with allegations of his acts of torture. FOX now agreed with the concept.
An initiative of the News Corporation , to which the 24 broadcasting station FOX belongs, had the goal of becoming climate - neutral throughout the company by 2010 . For this purpose, alternative fuels were used in the production of the relay , including biodiesel . In addition, the use of hybrid vehicles has avoided the use of more than 1,300 gallons of motor gasoline . By purchasing renewable energy , 98 percent of electricity emissions were offset and the CO 2 footprint was reduced by 940 tonnes of CO 2 equivalent , equivalent to a reduction in all emissions of around 43 percent.
The US Navy provided two of their Seahawk transport helicopters and their associated Navy flight personnel for the shooting . As part of the help with the helicopters, she also sent a group of Navy SEALs at her request , who were staged abseiling .
The season is dedicated to the late Larry Davenport, one of the series' film editors.

publication
The original plan was to start broadcasting the season regularly in January 2008. Before the start of the production break caused by the scriptwriters' strike, eight episodes of the seventh season had been completed. Therefore, FOX initially considered broadcasting the season split in that and the following television season, but decided against it because of the risk of losing viewers in the middle of the season. For this reason, the first broadcast of the season was postponed to January 2009.

Reviews
The season was criticized for having drawn too long. The effort to criticize torture from past episodes seemed artificial. In addition to CTU, the season "threw away" most of the interesting characters, Allison Taylor was a "lame duck" as president and "hardly less irritating" than her daughter. The season was criticized as "conventional and designed according to the scheme F"; problematic is the feeling of having seen everything before. She was "downright terribly cartoonish" with her invasion of the White House led by African paramilitaries. The scriptwriters used the season to “make fun of” the criticism of torture and not “seriously” deal with the subject. 24 relies on a kind of "curious attraction" in the season, instead of treating the problems caused by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 "with any serious depth". The episodes of the second half of the season were rated as "particularly strong", but the last four as "disappointing". There are hardly any fillers, while questions, resolutions, betrayals, and conspiracies kept interest going. The scripts of the season are "definitely better" compared to the sixth season, but some of Tony Almeida's "mysterious" motivations are not explained well enough.
