New York City cab driver Travis Bickle constantly, almost obsessively, reflects on the ugly corruption of life around him, and becomes increasingly disturbed over his own loneliness and alienation. In nearly every phase of his life, Bickle remains a complete outsider, failing to make emotional contact with anyone. Unable to sleep night after night, Travis haunts the local pornography emporiums to find diversion, and begins desperately thinking about an escape from his depressing existence. |

The Confederacy loses the war, but Wales refuses to lay down arms and becomes a dangerous outlaw who is pursued by a group of bloodthirsty bounty hunters. The lone revenge-seeker soon encounters a group of outcasts, Lone Watie (Chief Dan George), a sly old Cherokee man, Sarah (Paula Trueman), a vigorous elderly Yankee woman from Kansas and her granddaughter, Laura Lee (Sondra Locke), each of whom needs his protection. |
