Taxi Driver (1976)

American Movie1976Rating 8.1
📌 Available on Netflix and Prime Video🛡️ Adults 18+
📖 Story

A sleepless cabbie drifts through New York's neon-soaked nights, seeing rot everywhere and convinced only violence can cleanse the streets. Taxi Driver transforms an ordinary job into a descent into madness, as one man's obsession with moral purity becomes indistinguishable from vengeance. In this raw 1976 drama, isolation breeds ideology, and the line between protector and predator dissolves into blood and consequence. It's a haunting portrait of how loneliness can twist justice into something far more dangerous.
