NOMINATED FOR OSCAR, BAFTA AND GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS (BRYAN CRANSTON,
BEST ACTOR) Dalton Trumbo was the central figure of the infamous
'Hollywood Ten,' the screenwriters who, during the McCarthy era,
were charged by the House Committee on Un-American Acitivities for
their associations with the Communist Party. Due to their refusal
to cooperate during the investigation, Trumbo and his fellow
screenwriters were declared in contempt of Congress and were
ultimately blacklisted from Hollywood and some were even jailed.
Although Trumbo was one of several hundred writers, directors,
producers, and actors who were deprived of the opportunity to work
in the motion picture industry from 1947 to 1960, he won an Oscar
under the pseudonym Robert Rich for The Brave One in 1956, and he
was the first to see his name on the big screen again in 1960 with
Exodus, one of the year's biggest movies. All his life Trumbo was a
radical of the homegrown, independent variety. From his early days
in Colorado, where his grandfather was a county sheriff, to his
time in Los Angeles, where he organized a bakery strike and was
even a bootlegger, to his time as an author when he wrote the
powerful pacifist novel Johnny Got His Gun, to his heyday as a
top-paid (and frequently broke) Hollywood screenwriter-where his
credits include Roman Holiday, Spartacus, Papillon, Lonely Are the
Brave, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, The Brave One, and Kitty
Foyle-his life rivaled anything he had created. Written with Dalton
Trumbo's full cooperation, at a moment when he himself did not know
how much time he had left, Trumbo is a candid tale of a colorful
figure who was at the epicenter of a tumultuous period in recent
American history.
