Plot Outline: A man sent to a mental hospital finds the Camp Director a
lot more dangerous than the actual patients.
The story (based on Ken Kessey's novel) focuses on a rowdy misfit named
Randle Patrick McMurphy (Nicholson) who is put in a mental hospital with other people
(some voluntarily in) who are not all there. Some of these guys include Danny DeVito (in
his first role), Christopher Lloyd, Brad Dourif (in his Oscar nominated role) and the
never forgetable Will Sampson who played the Chief. The film, It's actors and scenes will
always be terrific achivements in cinema.
