The Incident (1967) BRRip Oldies

In the wee small hours of a Monday morning in New York City, a disparate group of 16, most traveling in pairs and trying to make their way home after a night out, are on the same subway car. Most are facing some issues, and their homeward journey is just a continuation of the problem that each faces in his, her, or their day-to-day life. Their tense quiet is shattered when Joe Ferrone and Artie Connors board the same car. Joe and Artie are a couple of menacing punks who just want to cause trouble for their own amusement; they've already violently mugged a man earlier in the evening for a mere $8. While Joe and Artie block the doors to prevent anyone from entering or exiting at any station, all the others on board who are lucid enough want to escape; the others passively watch the proceedings as Joe and Artie systematically direct their menace at each of the 16, one by one. What their terrorizing actions are able to do before the incident reaches its end is to bring to the surface the problems the passengers are facing in their lives.
