The Taking of Pelham 123RSS

Denzel Washington and John Travolta star in this updated version of the 1974 crime thriller, directed by Tony Scott. Four thugs led by Ryder (Travolta) hijack a New York City subway train, take hostages and demand $10 million be paid in one hour. Caught up in this crisis is Metropolitan Transportation Authority dispatcher Walter Garber (Washington). The heart of the movie is the cat-and-mouse game between Garber and Ryder. John Turturro plays a hostage negotiator, and James Gandolfini portrays the mayor.
