The Hollywood Ten were a group of screenwriters and directors who were blacklisted in the late 1940s for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) about their alleged Communist affiliations. They were cited for contempt of Congress and received prison sentences, and their careers were significantly damaged as they were denied work in the film industry. The incident highlighted the impact of McCarthyism and the Red Scare on American culture and politics during that era.
