Trailer: Trumbo with Bryan Cranston

Bryan Cranston plays Dalton Trumbo, the brilliant screenwriter whose experiences during the McCarthy era inspired some of the greatest movies ever made about freedom. Trumbo was blacklisted but continued to write screenplays by having them attributed to “fronts,” men who were hired to take credit for them. During this period, two of his fronts were awarded Oscars, which were later re-presented to the man who was truly responsible for them.
