Are you now or have you ever been...

The career of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo is halted by a witch hunt in the late 1940s when he defies the anti-communist HUAC committee and is blacklisted.

Germany German (Deutsch)

In den 40er-Jahren läuft es grandios für Dalton Trumbo: Er ist einer der bestbezahlten Drehbuchautoren Hollywoods. Es ist keine Frage, dass er einen Oscar bekommen wird, die Frage ist nur: wann? Doch mit dem Kalten Krieg und dem Aufstieg des Kommunistenhassers Senator McCarthy endet Trumbos Aufstieg. Die Kolumnistin Hedda Hopper macht Stimmung gegen die „hoch bezahlten Verräter“ Hollywoods, und die Filmstars John Wayne und Ronald Reagan helfen bei der Hexenjagd. Als sich Trumbo weigert, vor dem berüchtigten Komitee für unamerikanische Umtriebe auszusagen, landet er auf der „Schwarzen Liste“ und verliert seinen Studiovertrag mit MGM. Doch Trumbo wäre nicht Trumbo, würde er sich unterkriegen lassen.

L'ultima parola - La vera storia di Dalton Trumbo
  • a.k.a. L'Ultima Parola - La Vera Storia di Dalton Trumbo Title

Negli anni 40, Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) è uno tra gli sceneggiatori più pagati al mondo e scrive i testi di pellicole classiche di Hollywood. Presenza fissa nella scena sociale hollywoodiana, schierato con i sindacati e attivo politicamente per il riconoscimento dei diritti civili e della parità di retribuzione, Trumbo, insieme ai suoi colleghi, è chiamato a testimoniare di fronte al Comitato per le Attività Antiamericane nell'ambito dell'ampia indagine sulle attività comuniste negli Stati Uniti. Trumbo si rifiuta di rispondere alle domande della Commissione: per questo motivo riceve una condanna con arresto in una prigione federale che gli causa, tra le altre cose, anche l’ostilità della potente giornalista anti comunista Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren).
