The Dallas Buyers Club

Inspired by an incredible true story, DALLAS BUYERS CLUB stars Matthew McConaughey as real-life Texas electrician Ron Woodroof, an ordinary man who found himself in a life-or-death battle with the medical establishment, big pharmaceutical companies, and the U.S. government. In 1986, the volatile, free-wheeling Woodroof was blindsided by being diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. With the U.S. still internally divided over how to combat the virus and restricting medications, Ron banded together with an unlikely community of outcasts and tracked down alternative treatments from all over the world, by means both legal and illegal. Together, they formed a hugely successful 'buyers club,' and in the process transformed their lives as they fought for them.
