Geriausias kino scenaristas – pats gyvenimas. Tai įrodo ši nepaprasta Daltono Trumbo istorija – žmogaus, viešai pasmerkto ir apkaltinto, tačiau paslapčia tapusio vienu įtakingiausių Amerikos kino žmonių. Amerikiečių kino scenaristas Daltonas Trumbas – vienas pelningiausių Holivudo kūrėjų. Gerbiamas, mylimas ir dosniai apdovanojamas, Trumbas yra apkaltinamas savo filmuose pernelyg šlovinąs komunizmą. Atkaklus vyriškis laikosi savo įsitikinimų, ir todėl yra nuteisiamas ir įkalinamas. Maža to – įtraukiamas į juoduosius Amerikos kūrėjų sąrašus, o tai reiškė, kad jo karjera Holivude baigta. Tačiau pačiam Trumbo taip neatrodė. Jis toliau rašė ir kūrė filmus, pasirašydamas svetimomis arba išgalvotomis pavardėmis. Trumbo nekentę žiūrovai, patys to nežinodami, garbino jo filmus, o šie pelnydavo ne tik pasaulinę šlovę, bet ir „Oskaro“ apdovanojimus. Tai – sėkmės, nuopuolio ir ištikimybės sau drama.
