July 12: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw face off in a battle of wits in this propulsive thriller -- Matthau as Lieutenant Garber, a veteran subway authority who thinks he's seen it all, and Shaw as the ruthless mastermind who shows up with a brand-new bag of tricks.

In New York City, a criminal gang led by the ruthless "Mr. Blue" (Shaw) hijacks a subway car and threatens to start shooting one passenger per minute unless they receive a million dollars in cash from the city within an hour.

On the other end of the line, crusty veteran transit policeman Zachary Garber (Matthau) has his hands full dealing with the mayor's office and his hotheaded fellow cops, while also trying to deliver the ransom before the deadline expires.

Even while juggling all of this, Garber must figure out one thing: even if the bad guys get the money, how are they planning on getting away with it?

Directed by Joseph Sargent.
