Dallas Buyers Club

In 1986, in Dallas, the United States, homophobic Texas electrician Ron Woodruff (played by Matthew McConaughey) discovered that he was suffering from the "gay disease"-AIDS, and had only 30 days left to live. The AZT (azidothymidine) he used was the only anti-AIDS drug approved by the FDA at the time, but it was extremely toxic. In order to survive, Ron began to research various anti-AIDS prescriptions and alternative treatments, and even smuggled unapproved drugs from around the world. With the help of doctor Sachs (Jennifer Garner) and transvestite Raymond (Jared Leto), Ron began to establish an underground organization called the "Dallas Buyers Club" to provide more "unconventional treatments" for AIDS patients. Many sick gay men also turned to him for help. Naturally, his move was obstructed and pressured by the FDA and drug companies. Ron finally died in September 1992, 2,557 days after he was told he had only 30 days to live. In the past seven years, he has persevered in fighting the disease, the FDA and drug manufacturers, and enjoying a truly lived life...
