Taxi Driver Returns to the Big Screen at The Arc Cinema for its 50th Anniversary

Half a century after redefining modern cinema, Martin Scorsese's iconic masterpiece Taxi Driver is returning to the big screen to celebrate its 50th anniversary, giving audiences the chance to experience one of the greatest films ever made exactly as it was intended.
Originally released in 1976, Taxi Driver follows Travis Bickle, a lonely Vietnam War veteran who takes a job driving a taxi through the streets of New York City. As his isolation and frustration with the world around him grow, he spirals towards a shocking and unforgettable conclusion in a film that has become one of cinema's most influential psychological dramas.
Widely regarded as one of Martin Scorsese's defining works, Taxi Driver earned critical acclaim upon its release, winning the prestigious Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and receiving four Academy Award nominations. Robert De Niro's unforgettable performance as Travis Bickle, alongside Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd and Harvey Keitel, has cemented the film's place in movie history.
Watching Taxi Driver on the big screen is an entirely different experience. From Bernard Herrmann's haunting final score to Scorsese's striking cinematography and the unforgettable atmosphere of 1970s New York, every frame is designed to be experienced in a cinema.
