Rated:  |
 An award-winning cinematic
adaptation of Ken Kesey's celebrated novel that captures the
rebellious and anarchic energy of the 1960s . Randle P. McMurphy
(Jack Nicholson), a mental patient, bucks the rigid administrative
system at the asylum where he's incarcerated -- and pays a high
price for his nonconformity. McMurphy, who's seemingly just a
misdiagnosed free spirit, invigorates the previously zombified
patients with his independent ways. But the authoritarian staff,
led by the cold Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher) cannot accept
such behavior, and they'll do whatever it takes to bring him
down. Academy Award® Nominations: 9, including Best Supporting
Actor--Brad Dourif.
