MEDIA ALERT –June 27, 2025
WHAT: Fathom’s Big Screen Classics 2025 series continues in July with the 50th anniversary of the iconic Academy Award®-winning comedy-drama One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest—returning to theatres nationwide with a 4K restoration from the Academy Film Archive and Teatro Della Pace Films on July 13 and 16.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest tells the story of a free-spirited rogue who takes over the ward of a mental hospital by a combination of chutzpah and ingenuity. The film is based on Ken Kesey’s best-selling novel published in 1962. Using the madhouse to symbolize the individual against the system, the story gets its power from its unforgettable ensemble of characters and accretion of details that reveal what life is about inside a mental institution.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest won Oscars® for Best Picture, Directing, Actor, Actress and Writing in 1976, the first film to do so since It Happened One Night in 1935. The film was restored in 2025 by the Academy Film Archive, with restoration funding provided by Teatro Della Pace Film and special thanks to Paul Zaentz.
Michael Douglas, producer for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, notes, “I feel the film is more relevant than ever, and I am heartened that new and returning moviegoers want to seek it out on the big screen. I feel its messages need to be shared widely today.“
Every Fathom’s Big Screen Classics screening features an exclusive introduction by cinema critic and historian Leonard Maltin, discussing the landmark film’s timeless appeal and offering special insight into the classic motion picture.
