Synopsis
Freedom can be contagious, especially in a place designed to crush it. Miloลก Forman's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," adapted from Ken Kesey's novel, stars Jack Nicholson as Randle McMurphy, a brash petty criminal who fakes mental illness to escape hard labor on a prison work farm and lands in an Oregon psychiatric hospital. There he clashes with the icy, controlling Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), whose rigid rules and group therapy sessions keep the ward's men timid and obedient. McMurphy's rebellious spirit slowly awakens his fellow patients, as he teaches them poker, organizes a basketball game with the towering, silent Chief Bromden (Will Sampson), calls an imaginary World Series broadcast when Ratched refuses to let them watch and even hijacks a bus to take them deep-sea fishing. But McMurphy is stunned to learn that, unlike a prison sentence, his stay can last as long as the staff decides, and his defiance comes at a heavy price, especially for the shy, stuttering Billy Bibbit (Brad Dourif). Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd appear in early roles. It swept the five top Oscars: Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Adapted Screenplay.
