This brutal vision of urban decay and malaise has justifiably become one of Martin Scorsese's most celebrated films. Travis Bickle (De Niro) is a cabdriver and Vietnam vet whose mind slips even further into insanity after being rejected by an attractive campaign worker (Shepherd). As he plots the assassination of her party's candidate, he finds himself trying to rescue a 13-year-old prostitute (Foster) from her vicious pimp (Keitel). - Baker & Taylor
A disturbed New York City cab driver turns to vigilante violence when he fails to connect with society.
