Summary:
A gang of thugs who have hijacked a subway train near New York's Pelham Station and threaten to kill one hostage per minute. Forced to stall the assailants until a ransom is delivered or a rescue made, transit chief Lt. Garber must somehow ad-lib, con, and outmaneuver one of the craftiest, cruelest villains ever. It s a race against time, and no one knows whether things will end heroically or tragically in this pulse-pounding thrill ride! Bonus features included.
