One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Drama

1975, Movie, 2h 13min

In an insane world, who’s to say who is mad? One of the defining films of the New Hollywood, Miloš Forman’s electrifying tale of oppression and rebellion stars a live-wire Jack Nicholson in what may be his greatest performance as Randle Patrick McMurphy, a troublemaking misfit sent to an Oregon mental hospital, who inspires his fellow patients to assert themselves—much to the chagrin of the domineering Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), who may be more dangerous than any of the inmates. Based on the novel by Ken Kesey, this counterculture touchstone swept the Academy Awards with wins for Best Picture, Actor (Nicholson), Actress (Fletcher), Director, and Adapted Screenplay.

Let’s be completely honest, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is a great movie. Jack Nicholson, as the dangerously charismatic Randle McMurphy, is just one of the many components that makes this time-honoured work so remarkable.

One of the classic roles for which Nicholson's prime is remembered. It's all about the characters and the casting.
