This offbeat 1997 HBO production features 10 shorts relating the hair-raising, harrowing and sometimes heart-wrenching true stories of real people who brave New York City subways. Each helmed by a different top Hollywood director, the vignettes feature popular actors portraying people dealing with issues from panhandlers, paranoia, prejudice and fantasy to sexual harassment, underground music and the unthinkable-a man about to watch a pregnant woman jump in front of an approaching train. Ranging from humorous and ironic to poignant, the stories provide an entertaining view of New York City's underside. The shorts include: "Subway Car From Hell," "The Red Shoes," "The 5:24," "Fern's Heart Of Darkness," "The Listeners," "Underground," "Honey-Getter," "Sax Cantor Riff," "Love on the A Train" and "Manhattan Miracle." **Please be aware that this is a manufactured on demand disc that was created using a DVD-R disc. It should play in all standard DVD players.
