The Taking of Pelham 123
Chaos reigns in the New York City subway system when heavily armed criminals, led by a mastermind named Ryder (John Travolta), hijack a subway train and threaten to kill everyone on board unless a large ransom is paid. Dispatcher Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) uses his extensive knowledge of the transit system in a bid to outwit the hijackers and save the hostages, but one question remains: even if the hijackers get their money, how can they possibly escape?

Denzel Washington and director Tony Scott frequently collaborate on a certain kind of action film. "Crimson Tide" (1995), "Man on Fire" (2004) and "Déjà Vu" (2006) may not be Shakespearean, but each places as much emphasis on storytelling as it does on spectacle. The same may be said of "The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3," a formulaic but engaging thriller starring Washington and John Travolta.
