The Hollywood Ten refers to a group of ten screenwriters and directors who were blacklisted in 1947 for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) regarding alleged communist influences in the film industry. Their defiance led to significant repercussions, including jail time and a ban from working in Hollywood. The term "Hollywood Ten" has since become synonymous with the broader anti-communist sentiment and the Red Scare of the late 1940s and 1950s.
