Opening on June 12th is director Tony Scott's "The Taking of Pelham 123". The film stars Denzel Washington and John Travolta and it's a remake of the 1974 film that starred Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. Here's the synopsis:

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?
