Taxi Driver Standalone SteelBook 4K Blu-ray Is On Sale Now

04/23/2024 09:46 am EDT

If you love movies and own a Blu-ray player, Taxi Driver is one of those classic films that's a must have for your collection. Martin Scorsese's classic starring Robert De Niro was previously available in 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray as part of the Columbia Classics Collection but it's finally getting a standalone release in a limited edition Steelbook case. If you thought you would have to wait for Taxi Driver to celebrate it's 50th anniversary in 2026 before a 4K Blu-ray edition was released, this development should come as a pleasant surprise. 

Unfortunately, the cover for the Taxi Driver Steelbook is the same as the standard Blu-ray release, though the quality of the 4K scan should be pretty fantastic. A complete breakdown of the special features and specs can be found below, and if you're interested in picking it up, pre-orders are available here on Amazon now. It will arrive on your doorstep June 25th. Note that the price will likely drop before the release date, and pre-order customers will automatically get the discount.
