Somewhere underground, in New York's subway system, just outside the Pelham Station, a gang of armed men hijack a train, threatening to kill one hostage per minute unless their demands are met. Forced to stall these unknown assailants until a ransom is delivered or a rescue is made, transit chief LT Garber (Matthau) must ad-lib, bully. Con and shrewdly outmanoeuvre one of the craftiest and cruellest villains (Shaw) in a battle of wits that will either end heroically or tragically.

The recent remake got bad reviews so I haven't seen it, but these same reviews praised this classic. I saw this one some time ago and it has lost nothing for rewatching (except the final twist). Walter Matthau is a great lead and the plot is utterly brilliant. I don't rate many films as 5 star but this has got everything: drama, suspense and humour.
