Randall McMurphy (Nicholson) is a small time crook who is faking mental troubles to avoid prison, he is a rebel, womanizer, cool and a natural leader, his biggest problem of course is that inside the walls of (name of the hospital) free will is kinda frowned upon, since the whole purpose of this institution is surrender of free will, and of course he doesn't plan to stay locked in for a long time
The head nurse miss Ratched(Louise Fletcher) is a polite

and vicious woman with a zest of sadism, She is the one in charge of the group therapy sessions, which turn rapidly into humiliation and inquisition, and her methods are diametrically opposed to everything McMurphy believes in, and quickly McMurphy is pushing his fellow patients to act to improve the conditions of their stay, the consequences of which are them having the greatest fun of their lifetime ,and of course angering the whole hospital's establishment and challenging miss Ratched authority, leading McMurphy to face some unpleasant consequences
And speaking of the fellow Inmates, they are some of the most attaching characters you can see

This movie won a bunch of oscars including best movie, actor actress and director, and is considered one of the finest ever, it has this Shawshank Redemption feel, it stays with you a long time after you are done watching it, and is a school example of why Nicholson is considered a genius actor, in fact it was so good that it made me forget that i watched it in a crappy copy, and in French, and I guarantee you that your look on Psychiatric patients will change for good.
