Nominated for two Golden Globes, including Best Actor in a Motion Picture–Drama and Best Actress in a Motion Picture–Drama!

The successful career of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, played here brilliantly by Bryan Cranston (AMC’s Breaking Bad), comes to a crushing end when he and other Hollywood figures are blacklisted for their political beliefs. This film tells the story of his fight against the US 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. The film features an incredible supporting cast made up of John Goodman, Louis C.K., Michael Stuhlbarg, Diane Lane, and Helen Mirren to name just a few. Featuring a sharp, entertaining script by John McNamara (NBC’s Aquarius), Trumbo easily rises above the level of average, biopic fare.
