McMurphy is a two-bit crook who, facing a jail sentence, feigns insanity to be sentenced to a cushy mental hospital. However, his plan backfires when the hospital turns out to be anything but cushy, with its oppressive routines and a tyrannical head nurse who is out to quash any vestige of the patients' personal independence.
