About This Show
Legendary author of Spartacus, Roman Holiday, Exodus, Papillon and Johnny Got His Gun, Dalton Trumbo was at the top of his game when, in 1947, he stood up to the House Un-American Activities Committee, was thrown in prison and blacklisted as one of the infamous “Hollywood Ten.” Though vilified, exiled and “broke as a bankrupt’s bastard,” Trumbo refused to be silenced. In a script born from funny and brilliant letters to his friends, former friends, fronts and family, emerges the story of a family’s survival and one stubborn artist’s quest to break the blacklist.
Written by Christopher Trumbo and directed by Peter Askin, Trumbo: Red, White & Blacklisted is the story of a spirited American who took on Congress, Hollywood and a fearful nation…and won. Brian Dennehy stars as Dalton Trumbo.
