Randal Patrick McMurphy is transferred from the prison farm to a mental institution for evaluation. He imagines it will be a breeze, but he does not factor in Nurse Ratched who runs the ward. She keeps her patients cowed through medication, electroconvulsive therapy and abuse.
There follows a battle of wills between the rebellious McMurphy and the inflexible Ratched which is by degrees hilarious, heroic and tragic.
