Synopsis

Jack Nicholson scores the role of a lifetime in Milos Forman's Oscar-sweeping drama classic "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1975). To get out of jail, McMurphy (Nicholson) fakes psychosis and is sent to what he believes will be the cushier rooms of a state mental asylum. He doesn't count on the terrifying Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) and dehumanizing conditions that might really drive him insane. A masterpiece about rebellion and the unstoppable human spirit co-starring Danny DeVito, Vincent Schiavelli and Will Sampson. Based on Ken Kesey's 1962 novel.
