- SynopsisEx-Vietnam marine Travis Bickle takes a job as a New York cab driver, working the night shift to try to escape his oppressive sense of alienation from the corruption and filth that he sees all around him. After the failure of his attempted contact with an election worker, he puts himself through a fitness programme and buys a number of guns illegally, before trying to assassinate the presidential candidate. Chased away by secret service agents, he instead kills the pimp of his 12-year-old prostitute friend Iris and two others, and is hailed as a hero in the press. (Synopsis) MFB 43.201 (Shotlist)
