Travis Bickle, a Vietnam War veteran plagued by insomnia and alienation, drives a taxi through the grimy streets of New York City. His descent into paranoia and violence is fueled by his disgust with the city's decay and his unrequited love for a beautiful campaign aide. He ultimately takes on a mission to "cleanse" the city, leading to a bloody and cathartic confrontation.
