Travis Bickle is a loner, alienated from society, who finds work as a cabbie working the night shift. Inside him grows a morbid fascination and disgust with the seedy side of the city's street life--a fascination that drives him to save a young prostitute and enact a vengeance against what he considers are the perpetrators of urban decay.
