A Cab for Three (Spanish: Taxi para tres) is a 2001 Chilean crime comedy-drama film directed by Orlando Lubbert. It was Chile's submission to the 74th Academy Awards for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but was not accepted as a nominee.[1][2]

In the film, two criminals rob a taxi driver. But they give him a choice between joining their gang or becoming their hostage. He chooses to join them, and he is soon receiving his own share from the gang's loot. The story focuses on the normalization of gang activity in his life, and the way the other gang members become part of the driver's family life.
