2. A criminal pleads insanity after getting into trouble again and once in the mental institution rebels against the oppressive nurse
and rallies up the scared patients.
Synopsis
In 1963 Oregon, Randle Patrick McMurphy (Nicholson), a criminal who has been sentenced to a fairly short prison term,
decides to have himself declared insane so he'll be transferred to a mental institution, where he expects to serve the rest of his
term free of prison labor and in (comparative) comfort and luxury.
His ward in the mental institution is run by an unyielding tyrant, Nurse Ratched (Fletcher), who has cowed the patients (most
of whom are "voluntary" or there by choice) into dejected institutionalized submission. McMurphy becomes ensnared in a
number of power games with Nurse Ratched for the hearts and minds of the patients. All the time, however, the question is just
how sane any of the players in the ward actually are and whether they really belong there.
Throughout his stay at the hospital, McMurphy forms friendships with his fellow patients but the bonds are deepest with two in
particular: Billy Bibbit (Dourif), a suicidal, stuttering manchild whom Ratched has humiliated and dominated into a quivering
mess; and "Chief" Bromden (Sampson), a 6'5" muscular Native American who has schizophrenia. Recognized by the patients
in the ward as deaf, and unable to speak, they ignore him but also respect him for his enormous size. In the former, McMurphy
sees a younger brother figure whom he wants to teach to have fun, while the latter is his only real confidant, as they both
understand what it is like to be treated into submission.
McMurphy initially insults Chief when he enters the ward, but attempts to use his size as an advantage (for example, in playing
basketball, for which his height is favorable). When Mac sees how submissive the patients are under Ratched's tyrannical
control, he resolves to antagonize her and undermine her authority as much as possible. At a counseling session, McMurphy
proposes that the ward's work schedule be altered so that the patients can watch the World Series on television. When the 1st
meeting comes to a halt under Ratched's authority, Mac takes wagers on whether he can lift the ward's marble water-treatment
3. control panel and throw it through a window to escape and watch the Series at a bar. He naturally fails, but puts forth an
extreme effort.
The next discussion over changing the work detail quickly becomes a battle of wills when Ratched announces that a majority
vote will be acceptable. However, Ratched, upon realizing that the vote may go McMurphy's way, deftly alters the rules,
stating that votes must be taken from the Chronic and Vegetable patients . When the vote doesn't favor McMurphy, he begins
to imagine the game is on TV and rallies most of the other patients behind him, causing a major ruckus.
McMurphy leads the patients in a basketball game against the ward's orderlies. Chief Bromden proves to be an effective
player, scoring several baskets. While the orderlies claim that the patients are cheating, McMurphy ignores their objections.
While the patients later relax in the hospital pool, Mac finds out, from an orderly, that he won't be released at the end of his
prison sentence, but will remain in the hospital for as long as the board and Ratched deem necessary.
Another counseling session ensues and McMurphy, very upset at the orderly's revelation, finds out that he's been listed as a
"committed" patient and will only be released when Ratched permits it, a highly unlikely scenario. Murphy also discovers that
many of the patients in the ward are there voluntarily: they can leave any time they wish but due to Ratched's dominance, they
are afraid to take the chance. McMurphy seems particularly upset that a young man like Billy remains on the ward voluntarily
when he could be free and maybe enjoying his youth.
The session quickly erupts in violence however, when the subject of Ratched's cigarette rationing is addressed by an upset
patient named Charlie Cheswick. A fight breaks out with the orderlies and Mac, Bromden (who'd pulled Mac off one of the
orderlies) and Cheswick are sent to a detention area where electro-convulsive therapy is conducted on disruptive patients.
Cheswick is sent first to undergo ECT, while McMurphy and Chief wait on the bench. In the few moments they have alone,
McMurphy offers Chief a piece of gum, and Chief verbally thanks him. A surprised McMurphy realizes that Chief can speak
and has actually been faking his situation at the ward the whole time. McMurphy resolves to allow Chief in on his escape plan
because of his hidden wisdom. Ending this scene, a more defiant McMurphy emerges from the detention area to an awaiting
Nurse Ratched.
Closer to Christmas McMurphy, fed up with Ratched's oppressive methods, sneaks into the nurse's station and calls his
girlfriend, Candy, to bring booze and assist in his escape. She brings a girlfriend, and both enter the ward when McMurphy
convinces the ward's night attendant, Mr. Turkle, to open one of the ward's secured windows. The patients drink, while Billy
flirts with McMurphy's girlfriend.
Later in the evening, when McMurphy and the Chief plan to finally leave, Billy, upset at Mac's departure, hints to Mac that he
wants a date with Candy. Billy and Candy are given a private room and Mac boosts Billy's confidence & allows him to have
sex with her. McMurphy, however, while waiting (believing the encounter will be quick), falls asleep with the rest of the
patients.
Nurse Ratched and the orderlies arrive in the morning to discover the patients asleep hung over. Though clearly upset and
angry, she commands the orderlies to lock the open window and conduct a head count. When they discover that one patient,
