In this thrasher, a subway train is hijacked, and a group of criminals take people inside as hostages for ransom. Denzel Washington stars as the transit dispatcher who must negotiate with the mastermind, John Travolta. The effect of the confined space of the subway generates an atmosphere of impending doom for which Washington and Travolta prove to be up to the task. It is a remake of the classic 1974 film and although it honors the original it updates the situation with today's tension and action.
