Commentary

McMurphy has been dating a fifteen year old (fifteen going on thirty-five) and
is sentenced for a short term for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Rather than spend his time in jail, he convinces the guards that he"s crazy
enough to need psychiatric care and is sent to a hospital. He fits in
frighteningly well, and his different point of view actually begins to cause
some of the patients to progress. Nurse Ratched becomes his personal
cross to bear as his resistence to the hospital routine gets on her nerves.
