People: In this poster is an image of John Travolta who plays as Ryder, who is the leader of the hijackers. rather than playing a mercenary, he plays a former Wall Street "high roller" called Dennis Ford, who blames the city of New York and the mayor for causing him to stay in prison for 10 years, longer than the guilty plea of three years. Scott courted Travolta heavily for the actor's first action role in years, Travolta made 20 million dollars for his role. The role was originally illustrated by Robert Shaw in the 1974 film.
Design: the predominant image of John Trevolta suggest that he is a key character in the film and since he is also a highly paid actor. He plays the boss hijacker in the taking of Pelham 1,2,3. there is also images of a train which the viewer assumes is that of the train 1,2,3, and the city of New York which the film is based around, this is also a key feature since it is the city of New York that causes the hijacking as previously described in the earlier paragraph.
Colour: Is a dominant dark blue/ light grey and is very bland. However this enforces the seriousness of the poster as a more humorous poster would be glowing with vibrant colour such as reds, greens, light blue and in some cases yellow.
Title: The text is clearly displayed across the middle with a famous actors name across the top to attract any passers by or anyone who is looking at the poster to entice them to see the film, there is also the release date across the bottom of the poster so that the person can see when the film will be out either to tell his or hers friends about the film so the producers will get even more money from a larger audience.
