LightWave Effects Explode
in the Dynamic 6th Season of "24"

The Fox hit series "24" was back in true form when the 6th edge-of-your-seat season started out with a bang. Valencia, California, north of Los Angeles, was blown off the map in a nuclear explosion. The heart stopping action continued in grand "24" style as terrorists not only threatened the complete destruction of major US cities but managed to blow up homes, offices and even the president throughout the harrowing day. Ending in a grand finale at an off shore oil platform, Jack Bauer and his crew barely escaped with their lives as F-18 fighter jets bore down on the site and launched the final attack. Emmy award-winning visual effects houses Zoic Studios and Eden FX contributed the stunning effects for this season.
