One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)

Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews

In this clean, orderly, disciplined world, who needs guys like McMurphy? Everybody.

A petty criminal fakes insanity to serve his sentence in a mental ward rather than prison. He soon finds himself as a leader to the other patients—and an enemy to the cruel, domineering nurse who runs the ward.
