Milos Forman directs this psychological comedy drama based on the novel by Ken Kesey. After being imprisoned for statutory rape, an unrepentant Randle Patrick McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) is transferred to a state mental hospital to serve out the remainder of his sentence. Soon after his arrival he sets about leading his fellow inmates in a revolt against the hospital’s systematic oppression of its patients by the cold and inflexible Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) but she proves to be a formidable foe. The cast also includes Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd and Brad Dourif.
