About One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

A petty criminal fakes insanity to serve his sentence in a mental ward rather than prison. He soon finds himself as a leader to the other patients—and an enemy to the cruel, domineering nurse who runs the ward.

Directed by Miloš Forman, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest leans on a strong ensemble — Jack Nicholson, Brad Dourif, Louise Fletcher — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1975.
