In Trumbo, a blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter fights back after being jailed for his political beliefs. This is a portrait of an often-forgotten chapter of American history. In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (Cranston) was Hollywood's top screenwriter until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. The story exposes the absurdity and injustice of the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, and Otto Preminger. (Gary Reber)
