Plot
Randle P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholas), a free-spirited con, thinks he can get out of doing work whilst he is in prison by pretending to be mad. However, his plan backfires when he is sent to a mental asylum, where his contagious sense of disorder runs up against numbing routine. He tries to liven up the place by playing card games and basketball with his fellow inmates, but soon a war begins breaks out between McMurphy and Head Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher).
