Taxi Driver

Taxi Driver

Running time: N/A

Considered among the best films of all time, Martin Scorsese's gritty masterpiece stars Robert De Niro, Jodie Foster, Harvey Keitel, Albert Brooks, and Cybill Shepherd. An alienated and quiet loner, taxi driver Travis Bickle (De Niro) works the night shift in Manhattan. After failing to land a date with Betsy (Shepherd), a beautiful campaign aide for presidential candidate Palentine (Leonard Harris), an encounter with a 12-year-old prostitute, Iris (Foster), and her pimp, Sport (Keitel), convinces Travis that the world is a rotten place. And as his frustration mounts, he assembles a cache of guns and then learns how to use them-with deadly accuracy. Taxi Driver was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Score. To celebrate the 35th anniversary release on Blu-ray Disc and in theaters, the film has undergone an extensive 4K digital restoration from the original camera negative.
