Unbreakable

It made a brief appearance in the movie Unbreakable as Elijah (Samuel L. Jackson) falls down the stairs to the platform. It is portrayed as a subway station with turnstiles in the movie, though in actuality it is a commuter light rail station, with conductors collecting fares at ticket booths and aboard trains.
