WSR Narrative Review |

Story Synopsis:
Taxi driver Travis Bickle (De Niro), a psychotic cab driver who cruises the miserable, hellish streets of Manhattan 12 to 14 hours a day, watching the women he can’t have, including the angelic presidential campaign worker Betsy (Shepherd)—who rejects him when he takes her to a hard-core film. He tries to save a 12 year-old prostitute (Foster) from her pimp (Keitel). He develops a goal that becomes a dangerous obsession—to help wash all the scum off the streets.
