Movie synopsis
Milos Foreman's ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, based on the novel by Ken Kesey and the play by Dale Wasserman, presents a biting and ultimately tragic satire about mental institutions and the human spirit. A disturbing, witty, and electrifying drama, the film won the 1975 Academy Award for Best Picture. R.P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), a misbehaved con who shirks authority, finds himself in an asylum after faking insanity to get out of work detail in prison. The vivacious troublemaker soon finds himself in a worse kind of prison--one presided over by the repressed, terrifyingly quiet Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), whose set of rules and regulations are meant to suppress patients' psychotic outbursts, and their spirits. It's not long before McMurphy is reaching out to his new inmates, trying desperately to bring life to an otherwise dead atmosphere. To Ratched, however, Nicholson's free spirit is as dangerous as a schizophrenic impulse. ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST is brilliantly acted by an ensemble that includes Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd, Vincent Schiavelli, and Danny DeVito.

) As the first film to win top five Academy Awards in nearly 40 years, Milos Forman’s “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is one of the finest dark comedies to ever come out of Hollywood.
Jack Nicholson gives a truly captivating performance as R.P. McMurphy, a con artist who dodges authority left and center, is transferred to an Oregon state hospital in order to escape manual labor. The vibrant joker finds himself facing against the soft-spoken, inhibited Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), a reasonable, if strict authoritarian with an agenda to overpower the patients’ psychotic surges, and their morale. In the balance McMurphy decides to reach out to his fellow inmates by bringing some much needed existence into a depressing asylum atmosphere.
There is no denying the fact that Jack deserved his first Oscar for pulling off such complexities into a character as rebellious as McMurphy. However, I cannot see any other established actress to play the cold-hearted Nurse Ratched because the audience can accept a lesser-known actress in the role. But Louise Fletcher certainly has the presence to bring humanity into Ratched who was originally a brutal villainous as described in Ken Kesey’s novel. The supporting cast that includes Brad Dourif, Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito is probably the best ensemble that managed to stay in character throughout the duration of the shoot. And last but not least Will Sampson truly shines as the silent, laconic Chief who would later become pop-culture icon thanks to the ending scene.

On imdb' top 250 list, people like you and me review movies and rank them. I like it because tens of thousands of people take part in it. Some of the movies in the top 10 is The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather, The Dark Knight, Inception, and you guessed it: One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
And it is not inaccurate. Without wasting time, this is one of the greatest films ever. The first few sentences should be enough evidence for that.
