Trumbo Official Trailer - Bryan Cranston, Diane Lane, Helen Mirren

Bryan Cranston shines in the true story of courageous blacklisted Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. In 1947, talented, workaholic, wealthy Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) is a Communist Party member who speaks up for workers' rights. This attracts the ire of such patriotic Tinseltown players as John Wayne and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren). More seriously for Trumbo, when the anti-Communist witch-hunt reaches Hollywood, he's jailed for refusing to name names.

On his emergence from prison, the principled writer finds himself blacklisted and unable to work except under a pseudonym. Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston gives a powerhouse performance in this slickly paced true story of the writer of Spartacus and Roman Holiday, who paid a heavy price for standing up for free speech. The great Helen Mirren is also on top form as the odious Hopper in Austin Powers and Meet the Parents director Jay Roach's smart and witty drama.
