Taxi Driver, directed by Martin Scorsese, is an iconic 1976 film that has left an indelible mark on the annals of cinema. Starring Robert De Niro in one of his most memorable roles, the film takes us on a dark and unsettling journey into the mind of Travis Bickle, a mentally unstable Vietnam War veteran working as a night-time taxi driver in the gritty streets of New York City.

From the very beginning, it becomes clear that Travis is a troubled individual, plagued by insomnia and a growing disdain for the decaying urban environment he encounters during his nocturnal shifts. The perceived decadence and sleaze that surround him only serve to magnify his inner turmoil and fuel his increasingly violent tendencies. As he descends further into madness, Travis becomes consumed by a self-imposed mission to save the city from its own moral corruption, leading to a shocking and unforgettable climax.
