Season Overview
Season Four is set 18 months after Season Three. Jack is now working for Secretary of Defense James Heller after being fired by CTU due to his heroin addiction. As the day begins, he gets caught up in an elaborate terrorist plot which involves James Heller and his daughter Audrey Raines.
Unlike previous seasons, which focused on a singular threat, multiple enemies, and conspiracies, this season is based around one main enemy: a terrorist named Habib Marwan who controls a series of Middle Eastern terrorist cells that launch attacks against the United States. Rather than three large acts, this season is divided into several smaller acts depending on what terrorist threat Marwan came up with.
- The kidnapping and planned broadcast of the execution of the Secretary of Defense.
- Nuclear power plants across America are sent into a forced meltdown.
- Terrorists steal a stealth fighter to shoot down Air Force One.
- Jack and Marwan scramble to get ahold of the nuclear football.
- The terrorists steal and launch a nuclear missile.

Famous quotes containing the word season:
“The instincts of merry England lingered on here with exceptional vitality, and the symbolic customs which tradition has attached to each season of the year were yet a reality on Egdon. Indeed, the impulses of all such outlandish hamlets are pagan still: in these spots homage to nature, self-adoration, frantic gaieties, fragments of Teutonic rites to divinities whose names are forgotten, seem in some way or other to have survived mediaeval doctrine.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
