Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 The

In early afternoon, four armed men hijack a subway train in Manhattan. They stop on a slight incline, decoupling the first car to let the rest of the train coast back. Their leader is Ryder; he connects by phone with Walter Garber, the dispatcher watching that line. Garber is a supervisor temporarily demoted while being investigated for bribery. Ryder demands $10 million within an hour, or he’ll start shooting hostages. He’ll deal only with Garber. The mayor okays the payoff, the news of the hostage situation sends the stock market tumbling, and it’s unclear what Ryder really wants or if Garber is part of the deal. Will hostages, kidnappers, and negotiators live through this?

Remake of the 1974 film.

John Travolta chose not to promote the film with the rest of the cast because he was still reeling from the loss of his son Jett.

Nicolas Cage turned down playing Ryder (Travolta) to prepare for Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009).
