"One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest" is a 1975 drama film directed by Milo? Forman and based on the 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. It speaks about McMurphy who has a criminal past and has once again gotten himself into trouble with the law. To escape labor duties in prison, McMurphy pleads insanity and is sent to a ward for the mentally unstable. Once here, McMurphy both endures and stands witness to the abuse and degradation of the oppressive Nurse Ratched, who gains superiority and power through the flaws of the other inmates.
