Taxi Driver

Travis Buckle lives in a world of frustration, insomnia, loneliness, filth and sleaze. He works nights as a taxi driver, driving endlessly around the dark streets in the worst parts of Manhattan.

Travis gets to know a passenger, a young woman, Betsy, who works as a aide to Senator Palantine. Travis persuades her to go on a date, which, not suprising given Travis's fragile mental state, is very awkward. The date breaks up when Travis takes Betsy to see a porno film.

As Travis's dissociative state worsens, a 12 year old prostitute gets into his cab. Travis makes the decision to save Iris from her depraved world.
