During the Cold War in the 1950s, the Commission on the Investigation of Non-American Activities used various methods to track down fellow Communists in the American film industry, forced filmmakers to sell their names, and constantly blocked job opportunities for authors who did not meet their requirements. Eventually, the famous Ten Men Incident occurred. This film was shot based on this historical event. Robert de Niro plays the renowned Hollywood director David Merrill, who refuses to betray his friend's list despite intense pressure. Corresponding to him is another director, Joe, played by the famous director Martin Scorsese, who chooses to lead a vagabond life because he refuses to submit to the Non-American Council.[Collapse]
