24: Redemption (2008) is a TV movie set in the world of 24. It occurs four years after the sixth season and two months before the seventh, in real time between 3:00 pm and 5:00 pm (Sangala Time Zone) on Inauguration Day in the US. After the events of Day Six, a young boy is taken from his home in Sangala and forced into joining a rebel militia led by General Benjamin Juma. The coup they are planning is being financed by an American secret organization run by Jonas Hodges. During this time, Jack Bauer is working at a school owned by his old colleague Carl Benton, when he is served with a subpoena by US Embassy official Frank Trammel, who wants him to testify before the Senate regarding torture accusations. Despite his initial reluctance, Bauer finally agrees to leave when he discovers that the embassy will withdraw funding from Benton’s school for protecting him.

In the meantime, Juma’s rebel soldiers ambush and abduct a group of children playing soccer. When two boys attempt to escape, one is tragically killed by the soldiers’ gunfire. Upon receiving intel that their school is the next target, Benton contacts Bauer who takes swift action to protect the children by hiding them in an underground shelter and eliminating several rebel soldiers before being captured and tortured himself. However, with Benton’s help, they are able to defeat the remaining soldiers, including their leader Youssou Dubaku. Unfortunately, this victory comes at a price as Iké, Dubaku’s brother, vows revenge upon learning of his death. Bauer and Benton manage to escape with the children and make it to the American embassy in time for evacuation before Iké can carry out his plan.
