So what is the The Taking of Pelham 123 all about?
"Chaos reigns in the New York City subway system when heavily armed criminals, led by a mastermind named Ryder (John Travolta), hijack a subway train and threaten to kill everyone on board unless a large ransom is paid. Dispatcher Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) uses his extensive knowledge of the transit system in a bid to outwit the hijackers and save the hostages, but one question remains: even if the hijackers get their money, how can they possibly escape?"
Fun fact: This is a remake 1974's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three which starred Walter Matthau. That movie inspired the naming of the characters for Quentin Tarentino's Reservoir Dogs.
Fun fact: This is actually the second re-make of the original; the first re-make was a 1998 made-for-TV movie starring Edward James Olmos.
