Tuotekuvaus:

Directed by Joseph Sargent, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974) is a gripping crime thriller starring Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw and Martin Balsam.

Four heavily armed criminals hijack a New York City subway train and hold its passengers hostage. Demanding a ransom of one million dollars, the hijackers threaten to execute one hostage for every minute their deadline is missed.

Transit Police Lieutenant Zachary Garber (Walter Matthau) finds himself at the centre of a desperate negotiation. With time running out, he must outsmart the criminals, uncover their plans and find a way to save the passengers.

But the gang's ruthless leader, played by Robert Shaw, proves to be a calculating and dangerous adversary.

Combining razor-sharp dialogue, dark humour and relentless suspense, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three remains one of the finest American crime thrillers of the 1970s.
