You've never met anyone like RANDLE PATRICK McMURPHY...the hero of KEN KESEY'S ONE FLEW OVER THE CUKOO'S NEST

He's a boisterous, brawling, fun-loving rebel who swaggers into the ward a mental hospital and takes over...

He's a lusty profane, life-loving fighter who rallies the other patients around him by challenging the dictatorship of Big Nurse. He promotes gambling in the ward, smuttles in wine and women. At every turn, he openly defies her rule.

The contest starts as sport (with McMurphy taking bets on the outcome) but soon it develops into a grim struggle for the minds and hearts of the men, into an all-out war between two relentless opponents. Big Nuse backed by the full power of authority...McMurphy, who has only his own indomitable will.
