Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) is an ex Marine finding it difficult to cope with his existence, and he seeks out a job as a night-time taxi driver in New York. Obviously not a wise move as the sleazy undertones of New York at night feed his instability. He has a penchant for porn theatres, and sees nothing wrong with taking his potential girlfriend Betsy (Cybill Shepherd) to a Swedish sex instructional film (remember that this is the seventies). A brief encounter with a young prostitute Iris (Jodie Foster) sets him firmly on a path towards an obsession about cleaning up the dirty sleaze of New York, a philosophy he espouses to a wannabe President Charles Palantine (Leonard Harris). His obsession is manifested in the desire to 'free' thirteen year old Iris from the streets and return her to a normal life, achievable only by elimination of her pimp Sport (Harvey Keitel) and a few others, for which the newspapers brand him a hero.
