Description

In Martin Scorsese?s 1976 classic Robert De Niro plays Travis Bickle, a traumatized Vietnam War veteran who takes a job as a night-time taxi driver in New York City. When he encounters a 12-year-old prostitute named Iris (Jodie Foster), controlled by a pimp named Sport (Harvey Keitel), Travis is determined to "rescue" Iris, and does so, in a bloodbath that is unsurpassed even in the films of Scorsese.

    Comments about SONY HOME PICTURES ENT. Taxi Driver: Collector's Edition:

    What can I say about Taxi Driver or about Travis Bickle that has not been said already?

    It is a profoundly personal and expressive statement by Martin Scorsese, and to me his best work by far. This Two-disc Collector's Edition does justice to Marty's vision, and is a must-have for anyone who calls himself/herself a movie lover!

    Strongly recommended.
