Taxi Driver

Video    Trailer    Sony Pictures Home Entertainment

Paul Schrader's gritty screenplay depicts

the ever-deepening alienation of Vietnam Veteran Travis Bickle

(Robert De Niro in a tour-de-force performance),

a psychotic cab driver who obsessively

cruises the mean streets of Manhattan.
