Through a focus on the life of Dalton Trumbo (1905-1976), this film examines the effects on individuals and families of a congressional pursuit of Hollywood Communists after World War II.

Actors read his letters; his children and friends remember and comment. Archive photos, newsreels and interviews add texture. Written by
