A New York City subway dispatcher draws on his extensive knowledge of
the subway system in order to outsmart a dangerous criminal mastermind
who's hijacked a subway train in this remake of the 1974 thriller
inspired by John Godey's best-selling book. Walter Garber (Denzel
Washington) is drifting through his daily routine when he receives
word that a heavily armed gang of four has hijacked a subway train and
is holding all of the passengers hostage. Led by cunning master thief
Ryder (John Travolta), the gunmen will begin executing everyone aboard
should the authorities fail in delivering ten million dollars in the
space of just one hour. With the tension in the tunnels rising, Walter
races to save the hostages before the shootings start. But through it
all, there's one part of Ryder's plan that Walter can't quite
comprehend: even if the thieves do succeed in getting their money, how
could they possibly get out of the tunnels undetected?
