Product Summary
Plot Overview
Strap in for a high-octane thrill ride in Joseph Sargent's 1974 masterclass of suspense, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, a seminal heist film that set the standard for high-stakes crime dramas.
Four armed hijackers take control of a subway train in Manhattan, demanding a $1 million ransom within one hour, or they’ll start executing hostages. Inside the New York Transit Authority’s control room, world-weary Lt Garber (Walter Matthau) must navigate a deadly game of cat and mouse with the cold, calculating Mr. Blue (Robert Shaw), as both the hijackers and the city's authorities pressure him to resolve the crisis.
Shot on location in New York City and oozing with period detail, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three is an unrelenting classic with perfect performances, pitch-black humor, and an unforgettable score by David Shire. Never bettered, oft-imitated, this rugged gem remains a defining classic in heist cinema.
