Trumbo (2015)
Film Synopsis
In the mid-1940s, Dalton Trumbo is one of the most productive and respected of Hollywood screenwriters, and he has no difficulty finding work. But then comes the fateful day when Senator Joseph McCarthy embarks on his anti-Communist purge across America. Trumbo is one of several Hollywood artists who is brought before the House Un-American Activities Committee, charged with being a Communist sympathiser. Whilst some of his colleagues turn against him and agree to assist McCarthy in his relentless witch-hunt, Trumbo holds firm and accepts the unjust treatment that is meted out to him. After a spell in prison, his name is placed on a blacklist that prevents him from finding work in Hollywood. With the help of his friends and his family, he finds a way of continuing his legendary career...© James Travers
