- A tense situation develops in a New York subway when a group of unidentified gunmen hold the passengers of a subway car hostage in exchange for money. A veteran detective attempts to track down the identities of the gunmen in this offbeat crime film.
- Pelham 1-2-3, a subway train, becomes the focal point of the most audacious and unusual terrorist attack ever seen. Four gunmen, going by color codenames, seize the train and hold its passengers and conductor hostage halfway between underground stations, demanding a hefty ransom else they will begin executing hostages. A veteran NY transit policeman leads negotiations with the hijackers to prevent any killing, but amid the showdown a question nags at authrorities - with the gunmen and their hostages in a tunnel surrounded by police on all sides, how can they possibly escape?
- The focus of the movie is on how can it be done. How can New York City get 1 million dollars down to a subway car in just 1 hour, then how can the hi-jackers get away. This obviously well planned endeavor executed by intelligent men involves taking a train that can only follow the tracks, in a tunnel, no less. Everyone knows where the tracks go and where all (known) escape routes are.<br/><br/>Using the then state of the art technology, the appropriate branches of the New York City Government work together as a well oiled machine. The clunky patching together of their different communications systems allow them to privately snipe at each other while still cooperating to insure every exit is covered.<br/><br/>Made in 1974, it has the heavy handed obligatory anti-discrimination dogma crow-barred in to place in an occasionally successful attempt at humor. That emphasizes how the workplace had recently changed with respect to sex, race, and country of origin no longer predicting holders of positions of authority in a large municipality. Like their technology, it is now seems out of place and is an interesting comment on that time in our history.<br/><br/>I appreciate how, with few exceptions, the principles involved are good at their job. From the Mayor down to the conductor on the train, they are competent, with no contrived weaknesses added as a mere plot device. I found the story credible, and the politics interesting as to how each level of government try to work with the rest to avoid a bloody massacre.
- This is a fun little hostage thriller featuring not too much blood and good performances.<br/><br/>From the vantage point of 2003, when we've all seen dozens of hostage dramas on TV and at the movies, the actual procedural aspects of this movie sometimes seem a little clunky, i.e., it's a little hard to believe that Matthau is still basically running the whole show himself out of the Transit Authority's control room hours after the train has been taken hostage. There are a few other minor plot quibbles, and for some reason, we are never actually shown a key piece of machinery that enables the bad guys to make their escape, but overall, this is a fun, fast-moving thriller. Compared to some of the unbelieveable violations of the laws of physics (not to mention logic) in many modern thrillers, the nit-picks in this movie are pretty minor, and the typical, casually great performances by Matthau and Shaw more than make up for them. <br/><br/>A good time if you're looking for a not-too-clever, not-too-stupid action movie.
- Sargent's whole enterprise doubles as a '70s archaeological dig.
- Four men, who go only by the names Mr Blue (<a href="/name/nm0001727/">Robert Shaw</a>), Mr Green (<a href="/name/nm0000842/">Martin Balsam</a>), Mr Gray (<a href="/name/nm0001185/">Hector Elizondo</a>), and Mr Brown (<a href="/name/nm0385561/">Earl Hindman</a>), hijack New York City's Pelham 1:23 subway train, take 17 passengers plus the conductor as hostages, and demand $1 million dollars in ransom, and they want it in exactly one hour or they will execute one hostage each minute that the money is late. Lt Zachary Garber (<a href="/name/nm0000527/">Walter Matthau</a>) of the NYC Transit Police must negotiate with the hijackers, contend with City Hall red tape, and try to identify the hijackers and figure out how they intend to escape, since they are in a tunnel surrounded on all sides by police. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (aka The Taking of Pelham 123) is based on the 1973 novel (same title) by American author Morton Freedgood, writing under the pen name of John Godey. The novel was adapted for the movie by American screenwriter Peter Stone. There have since been two remakes: <a href="/title/tt0140594/">The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1998)</a> (a television release in 1998) and <a href="/title/tt1111422/">The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009)</a> (2009). "Pelham" refers to a local Manhattan train that departs from Pelham Bay Park. The 1-2-3 refers to the time that it leaves: 1:23. In order to assure the safety of the hostages, the mayor (<a href="/name/nm0908751/">Lee Wallace</a>) agrees to pay the ransom. Unfortunately, it took them almost a half hour to come to that decision. Now they've got only 30 minutes to get and deliver the million dollars. The dead man feature is a device built into the train that requires a motorman's hand to be pressing the throttle at all times. If it's released, the train stops cold. Once the money is in their hands, the hijackers start up the train, having found a way to circumvent the dead man feature. They get off the train and backtrack through the tunnel while the train goes forward, picking up speed until the passengers become alarmed and realize that no one is driving the train. On a hunch, Lt Garver and Inspector Daniels (<a href="/name/nm0364918/">Julius Harris</a>) backtrack to the 17th Street station where the train made a short stop (that's where the hijackers got off). Meanwhile, the train has tripped a red light and stopped at the South Ferry Loop, and all of the passengers are safe. Mr Blue has shot and killed Mr Gray for refusing to relinquish his gun, Mr Green has exited the subway with his share of the money, and a plain clothes policeman, who was among the hostages and managed to get off the train, has shot and killed Mr Brown and been shot by Mr Blue. Just as Mr Blue is about to finish off the policeman, Garver shows up and pulls a gun on Mr Blue. Realizing that he's been caught and learning that New York does not execute criminals, Mr Blue steps on the hot rail and electrocutes himself. Three hijackers accounted for, but who is the fourth? Armed with a list of nine ex-motormen, one of whom could possibly be the fourth hijacker, Garver and Lt Patrone (<a href="/name/nm0005467/">Jerry Stiller</a>) visit each man on the list, checking their alibis. Harold (Mr Green) Longman's alibi sounds a bit shaky ("I was here sleeping until an hour ago"), and Garver and Patrone are about to leave when Longman suddenly sneezes, and Garver replies "Gesundheit", just as he did several times earlier when he heard Mr Green sneezing over the radio. a5c7b9f00b
