One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, jailed for the statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl, anti-authoritarian Randle Patrick McMurphy is transferred to a mental institution for evaluation. Although he does not show any outward signs of mental illness, he hopes to avoid hard labor and serve the rest of his sentence in a more relaxed hospital environment. But his
unwillingness to comply and compassion for his fellow patients make him a prime target for the fearsome Nurse Mildred Ratched, who rules with a rod of iron.
