The Taking of Pelham 123

Four armed men hijack a subway train in Manhattan, holding passengers hostage and demanding $10 million within an hour. The leader, Ryder, contacts the dispatcher, Walter Garber, who is being investigated for bribery, and demands the ransom. As the situation unfolds, the mayor agrees to the payoff, and the stock market plummets. The outcome hangs in the balance, leaving hostages, kidnappers, and negotiators uncertain about their fate.
