"They're going to destroy the film anyway, you know. So let me destroy it. I'll destroy it. But before I destroy it, I'm going to steal it," Scorsese says in the footage.

Mr. Scorsese includes exclusive access to the filmmaker’s private archive, plus extensive conversations with Scorsese himself and never-before-seen interviews with friends, family, and frequent collaborators such as Steven Spielberg, Robert De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mick Jagger, Robbie Robertson, Thelma Schoonmaker, Sharon Stone, Jodie Foster, Paul Schrader, Margot Robbie, Cate Blanchett, and Rodrigo Prieto.
Director Rebecca Miller calls the project “a filmmaker’s dream”: “I was honored that he trusted me to make this documentary. It’s a story that will resonate with everyone, from devoted Scorsese fans to those who once failed but still reached for the stars.”
She adds that the documentary also "tells the true story of a mythical Taxi Driver, and how Marty's perseverance ensured the film retained its integrity and became a cultural icon."
Mr. Scorsese premieres on Apple TV+ on Friday, October 17. Watch the teaser below.
