One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - Special Edition 2 Disc Set


Milos Forman's adaptation of Ken Kesey's anti-authoritarian novel has secured a place as one of the great movies of the modern film era. A shrewd nonconformist (Jack Nicholson), sentenced to an insane asylum, encourages a group of marginal misfits to assert their rights and independence, over the rigid opposition of the head nurse (Louise Fletcher). This became the first movie since "It Happened One Night" to win Academy Awards for Best Picture, Director, Actor (Nicholson), Actress (Fletcher), and Screenplay. Cinematography by Haskell Wexler. Also starring Will Sampson, Brad Dourif, Sydney Lassick, Christopher Lloyd, Danny DeVito and Scatman Crothers.

Selected for the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry of American Film.
