ABOUT THE FILM

Taxi Driver (1976), directed by Martin Scorsese, follows Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro), a mentally troubled Vietnam War veteran who becomes a night-shift taxi driver in a decaying, crime-ridden New York City. Struggling with chronic insomnia and loneliness, Travis’s disillusionment with society grows as he witnesses the city's corruption and moral decay. Obsessed with saving a young prostitute, Iris (Jodie Foster), and seeking a sense of purpose, Travis begins to spiral into violent thoughts. The film explores themes of isolation, existentialism, and the psychological consequences of trauma, set against the gritty backdrop of 1970s urban America.

TRIVIA SAMPLES:

“Steven Prince improvised the list of additional illegal things Easy Andy had for sale after Travis buys the guns.”

“Due to a garbage strike, much of the on-screen filth is real.”

“Paul Schrader originally envisioned the character of Travis with Jeff Bridges in mind.”

“Robert De Niro's on-and-off girlfriend in the 1970s, Diahnne Abbott, appears as the concession girl in the porno theater near the beginning of the film.”

“The girl who Martin Scorsese studied to prepare for the role of Iris (played by Jodie Foster) also appears in the film as Iris' friend on the street.”
