Columbia Pictures offers a new Action-Thriller film with “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3″. Denzel Washington leads the star-studded cast that includes John Travolta and James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano of HBO’s The Sopranos). The film is set to debut on June 12, 2009.

Synopsis:
In “The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3,” Denzel Washington stars as New York City subway dispatcher Walter Garber, whose ordinary day is thrown into chaos by an audacious crime: the hijacking of a subway train.

John Travolta stars as Ryder, the criminal mastermind who, as leader of a highly-armed gang of four, threatens to execute the train’s passengers unless a large ransom is paid within one hour. As the tension mounts beneath his feet, Garber employs his vast knowledge of the subway system in a battle to outwit Ryder and save the hostages.

But there’s one riddle Garber can’t solve: even if the thieves get the money, how can they possibly escape?
