Isolated ex-marine Travis Bickle applies for a job as a taxi driver, hoping that the nocturnal working pattern will alleviate the effects of his insomnia and distract him from his gnawing depression. But ferrying passengers through the seedy underbelly of night-time New York City only compounds Bickle's psychological dislocation from the world around him. In one of his greatest films, Martin Scorsese directs with an eye for expressionist detail while eliciting a brilliant central performance from Robert De Niro, and all framed by Bernard Herrmann’s forceful and occasionally nostalgic score.

Contains strong violence, sexual violence, sexual threat and racist language.
