Taxi Driver
in cinemas Friday February 10th, 2017

Widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, a special 4K restoration will be released in cinemas across the UK.

A career defining role for Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle, a Vietnam war veteran with a disturbed outlook of the world he sees around him through his life as a New York Taxi Driver.

The collaborative working of director Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, screenwriter Paul Schrader, cinematographer Michael Chapman and legendary soundtrack composer Bernard Herrmann was a momentous coming together in creating what came to be one of the most iconic films of the 20th Century.
