"Cuckoo's Nest" is narrated by Chief Bromden, a docile inmate on the insanity ward in a psychiatric hospital that plays representative of everyday society. Enter Randall P. McMurphy, a charismatic free spirit who faked insanity to escape prison.
On the lifeless ward, McMurphy makes it his priority to “crack” the oppressive head nurse, Nurse Ratched, who rules the ward with an iron fist using manipulation, medication, and electroconvulsive therapy to repress the patients’ dignity and freedom.
McMurphy’s resistance begins to empower the hospital patients to stand up to the big nurse’s authority, but the stakes grow dangerous as McMurphy implements defiant tactics to break the tyrannical Nurse Ratched.
