Vier gewapende mannen gijzelen een New Yorkse metro en eisen 1 miljoen dollar, die moeten worden geleverd in 1 uur, omdat anders de passagiers vermoord zullen worden. Lt. Zachary Garber van de New York City Transit Police moet samenwerken met de burgemeester, de eisen van de kapers en met de doortikkende klok, om zo de passagiers te kunnen redden en de kapers te straffen.
Nee, helaas is The Taking of Pelham One Two Three nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
