New York cabby Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) is an insomniac
Vietnam veteran who works the nightshift.
He�s terribly alone and becomes infatuated with a dull blonde Betsy
(Cybill Shepherd) who agrees to go on a date but then rejects
him when he mistakenly takes her to see a porn movie.
He imagines his destiny is to save a teenage hooker Iris (Jodie
Foster) from her pimp. [see Director of the film, Martin
Scorsese and a young Jodie Foster]
