Product Description
Now in its fifth season, “24” is the highly acclaimed, groundbreaking, dramatic thriller which defines “appointment television” and continues to attract millions of viewers a week on Fox. Over the past four seasons, the show has consistently increased its high ratings and audience size with a fine cast of recurring actors, a growing slate of guest stars and the show’s star Kiefer Sutherland who portrays the unforgettable “Jack Bauer.”
Jon Cassar, Director/Co-Executive Producer of Fox’s “24”, turns his filmmaker’s eye behind the scenes of the first five seasons of this hit series. He captures unscripted moments with the “24” cast and crew, including the show’s star Kiefer Sutherland, as well as many other well-known celebrity guests who have graced the screen of one of the most highly acclaimed and often controversial shows on television. Jon Cassar’s photography is accompanied by photographs from other members of the “24” family including Rodney Charters, Jay Herron, Michael Klick, Bruce Margolis, David St. Onge and Isabella Vosmikova.
Here you will be able to see moments behind the scenes on the Counter Terrorist Unit (CTU) set and remote location shooting as well as the planned explosions of bombs and spontaneous laughter accompanied by candid, firsthand, never-before-told stories of relationships, lifelong friendships, mishaps and mayhem developed over five seasons and more than one hundred episodes that make the magic that is “24.”
The show, originally intended as a one-time miniseries, is now in its fifth blockbuster season, with a sixth already confirmed. “24” continues to receive critical and popular acclaim. Among the many awards garnered are: a Golden Globe for Best Actor (2002) and two SAG Awards (2004, 2006) for Kiefer Sutherland; an Emmy for Best Writing for series creators Joel Surnow and Robert Cochran (2002); and a Golden Globe for Best Drama Series (2004).

"24: Behind the Scenes" is a book featuring an inside look at the hit television drama "24." The text is by Jon Cassar, with photos by Jon Cassar, Rodney Charters, ASC CAC, and many of the filmmakers of "24." It includes a foreword by main star Kiefer Sutherland.The photos in here are delightful, revealing and a true treat for fans. You'll find everything in here from action shots to off-set looks at the cast and crew as they really are. You'll find a variety of photo-styles taken with a variety of camera. Jon Cassar's comments are enjoyable and reveal additional background information.
This book is laid out with photo sections for all of the first five seasons of the program, all that were available at press-time. Also included are sections for Making "24," Production Design and Celebrity Guests (visitors to the set have included John Mayer, Eva Langoria and even Rush Limbaugh.)
This book finishes off with a nice bonus disc featuring commentary from the people who made the book. If you're a true fan of "24," you need to se this.

Great Pictures Highlight Book, Jan 11 2007
By Judy H. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 24: Behind the Scenes (Paperback)
I really appreciate the quality of this book of pictures and information about 24. It gives a great sense of how the show is put together and lots of informal shots of the cast and crew. It recaps each season and gives the reader insight into the different camera angles and thought that go behind some of the most memorable scenes of this ground breaking series. Definitely a great investment for any fan of 24 and Kiefer Sutherland,

For the ultimate '24' fan, nothing can beat this book!, Jan 18 2007
By ffolkes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 24: Behind the Scenes (Paperback)
I don't normally review things, but this book was *so* good, I just had to share my feelings!Right now this is quite possibly the best gift you can any '24' fan - it's even up-to-date through season 5. It's packed full of high resolution photos (none are grainy or blurry) detailing behind-the-scenes events, actors goofing around, and what I call "fictionally realistic" events. The latter being photos that are true to the fictional event in question, with no third-party distractions in them - similar to film stills, but with much better quality.
For the '24' obsessed fan, this book is truly beyond 5 stars!
