McMurphy, a social misfit who finds himself locked up in an insane asylum through his own choice to avoid a prison sentance. Whilst there he encourages his fellow inmates (DeVito, Lloyd and Dourif among them) into acts of rebellion, joyous freedom and self-expression. The authorities, principally in the shape of the formidable Nurse Ratched, react with increasing violence to McMurphy's dangerous ideas with terrible final consequences for McMurphy.
