Programme Information

Robert De Niro gives a tour-de-force performance as Travis Bickle, an alienated, uncommunicative Vietnam vet who works nights as a taxi driver in Manhattan. His attempts to date the beautiful Betsy fail when he unwittingly drives her away. An increasingly frustrated Travis then meets Iris, a 12-year-old runaway turned prostitute whose pimp is the longhaired Sport. As Travis becomes obsessed with 'rescuing' Iris from her situation, he turns himself into a one-man killing machine and prepares for a bloody crusade he believes will put the world right.
