In 1947,
Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) was Hollywood’s top screenwriter until he and
other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs. Trumbo
recounts how Dalton used words and wit to win two Academy Awards and expose the
absurdity and injustice under the blacklist, which entangled everyone from
gossip columnist Hedda Hopper to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.
The cast
includes Diane Lane, Helen Mirren, Alan Tudyk, John Goodman, Louis C.K., Elle
Fanning and many others.
