One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest - 4K Restoration

Milos Forman's ultimate masterpiece and Jack Nicholson's career defining performance in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest won the Best Picture Oscar in 1975 up against the toughest competition!

Tyrannical Nurse Ratched rules her ward in an Oregon State mental hospital with a strict and unbending routine, unopposed by her patients, who remain cowed by mind-numbing medication and the threat of electroshock therapy. But her regime is disrupted by the arrival of McMurphy - the swaggering, fun-loving trickster with a devilish grin who resolves to oppose her rules on behalf of his fellow inmates.

Presented in 4K on its 50th Anniversary, this 5-time Oscar® winner (Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Director, Screenplay) and based on Ken Kesey's extraordinary first novel the film is an exuberant, ribald and devastatingly honest portrayal of the boundaries between sanity and madness.
