One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
“In this clean, orderly, disciplined world, who needs guys like McMurphy? Everybody.”
A petty criminal fakes insanity to serve his sentence in a mental ward rather than prison. He soon finds himself as a leader to the other patients—and an enemy to the cruel, domineering nurse who runs the ward.
