A group of strangers on a NYC subway are stranded after an earthquake wrecks their car and caves in the tunnel system. Policeman James Brolin and conductor James McEachin lead them through the debris as it rapidly fills with water from the East River. They must overcome prejudices and other personal problems along the way. One of the better made-for-tv disaster films from the 70s, though the scenario is similar to The Poseidon Adventure, released the same year.
