"24" is one of my fave shows, and one of the best television series of all time. It succeeds so greatly because it takes all the B action movie standards - Heroic Good Guys, Terrorists With A Plot, Government Conspiracy - and filters them through a topical reality. (To quote Kiefer's favorite word of all time, it adds "gravitas" to them.) Also, it always has a political layer - Presidents, VP's, First Ladies and First Families that adds even more complexity to the arching storylines
I wanted to write an action script captured the spirit of the show. Not necessarily written in real time, but over the course of a single day, like John Woo's "BROKEN ARROW."
All in all, this is a very good genre action script, with a female protagonist to boot. Let's hope it gets made one day!
