Tony Scott helms the remake of the 1974 film and Denzel Washington and John Travolta take the starring roles from Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. Some things about the .74 version I liked better, but this redo is an enjoyable one. Walter Garber (Denzel Washington) used to be an administrator at the New York transit authority but while an internal investigation goes on because of an accusation of taking a bribe he.s on the dispatcher desk. His day starts off rather monotonously, but as he.s about to get off his shift Pelham 123 suddenly stops still on the digital board. The subway train has been hijacked by a group of armed men led by .Ryder. (John Travolta).
