What running time is listed for the four-part finale Sozin's Comet?

The story behind the answer

The running time listed for the four-part finale Sozin's Comet is 92 minutes.

Although Sozin's Comet is divided into four episode chapters, Nickelodeon presented it as a single two-hour television event, with commercial breaks making up the rest of the broadcast slot. The four chapters are “The Phoenix King,” “The Old Masters,” “Into the Inferno,” and “Avatar Aang.” Together, they conclude Avatar: The Last Airbender's third and final season.

The 92-minute figure refers to the program's combined content length as listed for the finale, not the two-hour schedule reserved for its original broadcast. That distinction explains why some listings or fan references may use slightly different figures, especially when discussing edited releases, credits, or broadcast formatting.

The finale originally aired on July 19, 2008, after Nickelodeon promoted a week of new Avatar episodes. Its unusually long format allowed the story to follow several climaxes at once: Aang's confrontation with Ozai, Zuko and Katara's battle with Azula, the White Lotus assault on Ba Sing Se, and Sokka, Toph, and Suki's attack on the airship fleet.
