Alienated, psychotic Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) drives a cab by night in New York City, and spends his days alone in his room or in porno theatres. When he meets 12-year-old prostitute Iris (Jodie Foster), he is determined to save her. After he is rejected by a beautiful campaign worker (Cybill Shepherd), Bickle begins his rampage, starting with an attempted political assassination, and ending with a violent bloodbath in order to rescue Iris. Starring Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Jodie Foster and Cybill Shepherd.
