One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is a 1975 American comedy-drama film directed by Milos Forman, based on the 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Ken Kesey. The film stars Jack Nicholson as Randle McMurphy, a new patient at a mental institution. In 1963 Oregon, recidivist malefactor Randle Patrick Mc Murrphy is moved to a mental institution after serving a short sentence on a prison farm for several charges of assault, and statutory rape of a 15-year-old. Though not actually mentally ill, McMurphy hopes to avoid hard labor and serve the rest of his sentence in a relaxed environment. Upon arriving at the hospital, he finds the ward run by nurse Mildred Ratched, a cold, passive-aggressive tyrant who uses her rules and authority to intimidate her charges into a restrictive, joyless existence. more informations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Flew_Over_the_Cuckoo's_Nest_(film) Jan Tomáš "Miloš" Forman, Czech: (1932 – 2018) was a Czech-American film director, screenwriter, actor, and professor who rose to fame in his native Czechoslovakia before emigrating to the United States in 1968.
