Directed by Milos Forman, McMurphy thinks he can get out of doing work while in prison by pretending to be mad. His plan backfires when he is sent to a mental asylum. While serving time for insanity at a state mental hospital, implacable rabble-rouser Randle inspires his fellow patients to rebel against the authoritarian rule of head nurse Mildred, a woman who is more a dictator than a nurse.
