This movie had to inspire One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and it is one of the best films I have ever seen, though after he gets caught the second time, you begin to sense there is no hope or direction left in him as his attempts always get destroyed but yet he still remains a hero to his peers who view him as a person who won't give in to the system.. The ending is one of the few endings that can actually make you sad or depressed.. Newman's best performance
