Milos Forman directs this deeply inspired drama in which a free-spirited convict named McMurphy (Jack Nicholson) scams his way from prison into a mental ward, where he battles a manipulative nurse and inspires her browbeaten patients. This powerful film artfully captures the heroic struggle of a fearless personality against an institution of mindless conformity. Based on Ken Kesey's classic novel and the play by Dale Wasserman, the film features exuberant performances, particularly from Nicholson, Brad Dourif, Louise Fletcher, and Will Sampson.
