2. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next

After being convicted of a petty crime, a charming, rebellious rogue named McMurphy contrives to serve his short sentence in an airy mental institution rather than in a prison. This, he soon learns, was a mistake. He immediately clashes with the authoritarian head nurse, a fierce martinet named Nurse Ratched. Despite Ratched's strict reign, McMurphy quickly takes over the yard, leading others out of introversion, into staging a revolt so that they can watch the World Series on television and arranging a rollicking midnight party with liquor and women. But McMurphy's brash insubordination has its consequences.

Join this crew of colorful characters as they journey through McMurphy's entrance into and inevitable victory over the asylum's rules and oppressive Nurse Ratched!
