In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest Nicholson stars as Randle P. McMurphy who thinks that a nice rest in a state mental hospital beats a stretch in the pen. The free-spirited convict then fakes insanity and moves in with what he calls the "nuts." Immediately, his contagious sense of disorder runs up against the numbing routine, and the battle lines are drawn. On one side is McMurphy; on the other is soft-spoken Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), one of the most coldly monstrous villains ever. At stake is the fate of every patient on the ward.
