Based on a true story. Made into two movies based on the book. A thriller about a crew of guys who hijack a subway train hold the passengers hostage and the ensuing drama that follows ! High thriller, lots of action, action, action !

HIS AFTERNOON IN NEW YORK CITY, AFTER A SUBWAY TRAIN LEFT THE PELHAM STATION AT 1:23 P.M., THE EVENTS OF THE DAY TOOK A TERRIFYING DETOUR
You will all remain seated. Anyone who tries to get up, or even moves, will be shot. There will be no further warning. If you move you will be killed.

Four men, armed with submachine guns, have seized a New York City subway train, holding all seventeen passenger;and the entire city hostage. The identities of the hijackers are unknown. Their demands seem impossible. Their threats are real. Their escape seems inconceivable.

Only one thing is certain: they aren't stopping for anything.
