Playing crazy to avoid prison work detail, manic free spirit Randle P. McMurphy is sent to the state mental hospital for evaluation. There he encounters a motley crew of mostly voluntary inmates presided over by the icy Nurse Ratched. McMurphy proceeds to instigate group insurrections large and small, ranging from a restorative basketball game to a tragic after-hours party with hookers and booze. Nurse Ratched, however, has the machinery of power on her side to ensure that McMurphy will not defeat her. Still, McMurphy's message to live free or die is ultimately not lost on one inmate, revealing that escape is still possible even from the most oppressive conditions. Winner of five Academy Awards® (including Best Picture) and a Tony Award® (Best Play Revival).
