Summary: "Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw and Martin Balsam lead an all-star cast in this 'gripping and exciting' (The Hollywood Reporter) suspense film based on the sizzling best seller by John Godey. A gang of thugs who have hijacked a subway train near New York<U+2019>s Pelham Station threaten to kill one hostage per minute [past the hour in which they expect their demands to be met]. Forced to stall the assailants until a ransom is delivered or a rescue made, transit chief Lt. Garber (Walter Matthau) must somehow ad-lib, con and outmaneuver one of the craftiest, cruelest villains ever (Robert Shaw). It<U+2019>s a race against time, and no one knows whether things will end heroically or tragically in this pulse-pounding thrill ride!"--Container.
