McMurphy (played by Jack Nicholson) is a convict temporarily held at a prison farm who is later transferred to a mental health institution due to his abnormal psychological behavior.
McMurphy tries every means to defy the supervision of Nurse Ratched and seeks ways to achieve freedom. However, things are far from easy for McMurphy and his newfound friends.
