Summary:
The successful career of 1940s screenwriter Dalton Trumbo comes to a crushing end when he and other Hollywood figures are blacklisted for their political beliefs. It tells the story of his fight against the U.S. government and studio bosses in a war over words and freedom, which entangled everyone in Hollywood from Hedda Hopper and John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. "'Trumbo' is timely in its portrayal of a moment when political speech is dangerously charged, yet unabashedly old-fashioned in the sincerity of its storytelling."--Los Angeles Times "It's a cracking good story, and Cranston does a great job portraying a man who made great sacrifices for his principles."--New York Post "What makes the movie work are the lively performances, both from the supporting cast and from Cranston..."--Hollywood Reporter
