In 1963 Oregon, Randle Patrick "Mac" McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), an anti-authoritarian criminal serving a short sentence on a prison farm for Statutory rape of a 15-year-old girl, is transferred to a mental institution for evaluation. Although he does not show any overt signs of mental illness, he hopes to avoid hard labour and serve the rest of his sentence in a more relaxed hospital environment.
