Plots(1)
Somewhere underground, in New York’s subway system, just outside the Pelham Station, a gang of armed men hijack a train, threatening to kill one hostage per minute unless their demands are met. Forced to stall these unknown assailants until a ransom is delivered or a rescue is made, transit chief Lt. Garber (Walter Matthau) must ad-lib, bully, con and shrewdly outmanoeuvre one of the craftiest and cruellest villains (Robert Shaw) in a battle of wits that will either end heroically or tragically. Based on the sizzling best seller by John Godey, this pulse-pounding picture is guaranteed to give you the ride of your life! (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)
