A young woman (Dakota Johnson) jumps into the backseat of a yellow taxi. The cabbie (Sean Penn) throws the vehicle into drive as they leave JFK airport and head into the night toward Manhattan, engaging in a conversation that takes them both on a single remarkable journey. As the two navigate the very human connection between passenger and driver in the world’s biggest city, they locate a common ground that helps each of them see the other’s point of view — bringing them both closer to figuring out themselves.
