1..2…3..GET THAT TRAIN A MOVING:
Pelham 123 has been hijacked by a group of guys that want New York City to give them one million dollars. If they don’t get the money within the time limit they will start shooting one hostage a minute. Transit Chief Lt. Garber (played by Walter Matthau) has to figure out a way to get the city to come up with the ridiculous demands that the gang has made while also keeping the gang from killing the hostages.
