Description
A nice rest in a state mental hospital beats a stretch
in the pen, right? Randle P. McMurphy (Jack
Nicholson), a free-spirited con with lightning in his
veins and glib on his tongue, fakes insanity and
moves in with what he calls the "nuts". Immediately,
his contagious sense of disorder runs up against
numbing routine. No way should guys pickled on
sedatives shuffle around in bathrobes when the
World Series is on. This means war! On one side is
McMurphy. On the other is soft-spoken Nurse
Ratched (Louise Fletcher), among the most coldly
monstrous villains in film history. At stake is the fate
of every patient on the ward.
Based on Ken Kesey's acclaimed bestseller, One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest swept all five major
1975 academy awards: Best Picture, Actor, Actress,
Director, and Adapted Screenplay. Raucous,
searing and with a superb cast that includes Brad
Dourif, Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd in his
film debut, this one soars.
