Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A collection of five stories involving cab drivers in five different cities. Los Angeles - A talent agent for the movies discovers her cab driver would be perfect to cast, but the cabbie is reluctant to give up her solid cab driver's career. New York - An immigrant cab driver is continually lost in a city and culture he doesn't understand. Paris - A blind girl takes a ride with a cab driver from the Ivory Coast and they talk about life and blindness. Rome - A gregarious cabbie picks up an ailing man and virtually talks him to death. Helsinki - an industrial worker gets laid off and he and his compatriots discuss the bleakness and unfairness of love and life and death.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The production hired a stunt driver to maneuver the tiny Fiat cab around a hairpin turn for one of the exterior shots in Rome. The turn was so tight that the stunt driver couldn't manage it, even after several takes. Roberto Benigni asked if he could try it, and pulled it off perfectly on the first take. See more » |
| Goofs | Cameras and studio lights are very visible in the sunglasses of the drivers in Los Angeles and Rome. See more » |
