An undisputed classic of 1970s cinema, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest returns to UK cinemas from 14 April. The film follows Randle P McMurphy, a small-time crook who spends a spell in a home for the mentally ill challenging the rule of the authoritarian Nurse Ratched. Featuring an unforgettable lead performance by Jack Nicholson - for which he won his first Academy Award - the release coincides with the actor's 80th birthday. http://www.bfi.org.uk/whats-on/bfi-film-releases/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest Subscribe: http://bit.ly/subscribetotheBFI.
