Taking Of Pelham 1, 2, 3 DVD

An all-star cast, including Oscar winners Walter Matthau and Martin Balsam teams up with Robert Shaw (Jaws) to deliver “sure-fire entertainment [that’s] gripping and exciting from beginning to end” (The Hollywood Reporter). Based on the sizzling best-seller by John Godey, this pulse-pounding picture is guaranteed to give you the ride of your life! Somewhere underground, in New York’s subway system, just outside the Pelham Station, a gang of men highjack a train threatening to kill one hostage per minute unless their demands are met. Forced to stall these unknown assailants until a ransom is delivered or a rescue is made, transit chief Lt. Garber (Matthau) must ad-lib, bully, con and shrewdly outmaneuver one of the craftiest and cruelest villains (Shaw) in a battle of wits that will either end heroically or tragically.
