SYNOPSIS
In The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, Denzel Washington
stars as New York City subway dispatcher Walter
Garber, whose ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an
audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train. John
Travolta stars as Ryder, the criminal mastermind who,
as leader of a highly-armed gang of four, threatens to
execute the train's passengers unless a large ransom
is paid within one hour. As the tension mounts beneath
his feet, Garber employs his vast knowledge of the
subway system in a battle to outwit Ryder and save the
hostages. But there's one riddle Garber can't solve:
even if the thieves get the money, how can they
possibly escape? --© Sony Pictures
