One of the most popular movies of all time is Martin Scorsese’s 1976 film, Taxi Driver. The film is set in New York City, post-Vietnam War Era and stars Jodie Foster as Iris, in her first breakthrough role as a twelve year old prostitute and Robert De Niro as a lonely ex-marine, Vietnam veteran who is also a taxi driver. De Niro’s character, Travis Bickle, is a disturbed individual who attempts to save the young prostitute.
