Taxi Driver

Director Martin Scorsese

Cast Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd

Travis Bickle, a troubled Vietnam War veteran and insomniac, works the night shift as a taxi driver in the gritty streets of 1970s New York City. Increasingly detached from reality, he becomes obsessed with the moral decay he witnesses around him, eventually deciding to take matters into his own hands to cleanse the city. Featuring Robert De Niro's legendary performance, this film is a haunting, visceral exploration of loneliness, alienation, and the descent into madness.
