"A screen triumph! The entire cast is aces. One of the year's must-see pictures!" -Pete Hammond, Deadline
"Extraordinary. Dalton Trumbo would have loved the movie." -Peter Bart, Variety
In 1947, Dalton Trumbo (played superbly by 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 of the blacklist, which entangled everyone from gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) to John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. All-star cast features Cranston, Mirren, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Alan Tudyk, Diane Lane, Louis C.K., Elle Fanning and John Goodman.
