| SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
TRUMBO is the story of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo’s
remarkable journey from Hollywood royalty to blacklisted writer
to Academy Award winner. Focusing on the writer’s own
indelible words, the film features performances of some of
his extraordinary letters, clips from his films and, archival
and contemporary interviews with those who knew him best.
The film illustrates how one man’s unerring belief
in the First Amendment and the power of the written word—plus
a drink or two—empowered him to fight back after being
blacklisted by HUAC. Forced to write underground, letter writing
became the chief repository of Trumbo’s extraordinary
talents, and they serve as a wonderfully entertaining testament
to his boundless intellect, acerbic humor, and staggering
resilience.
