As producer and star of the spectacular Spartacus, Douglas knew blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo was the only one who could bring his costly epic to life. Join us as we explore how Douglas, Trumbo and a stellar cast risked everything to make a magnificent film that ended a dark chapter in show business history.
