An imperfect man fights for survival during an uncertain time in America. Inspired by true events, Ron Woodroofs story of strength is told in DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée from an original screenplay by Craig Borten & Melisa Wallack. Spirit Award winner Matthew McConaughey portrays the real-life character, whose self-interest is galvanized into something much more.

A son of Texas, Ron Woodroof is an electrician and rodeo cowboy. In 1985, he is well into an unexamined existence with a devil-may-care lifestyle. Suddenly, Ron is blindsided by being diagnosed as H.I.V.-positive and given 30 days to live. Yet he will not, and does not, accept a death sentence.

His crash course of research reveals a lack of approved treatments and medications in the U.S., so Ron crosses the border into Mexico. There, he learns about alternative treatments and begins smuggling them into the U.S., challenging the medical and scientific community including his concerned physician, Dr. Eve Saks (Screen Actors Guild Award winner Jennifer Garner).

An outsider to the gay community, Ron finds an unlikely ally in fellow AIDS patient Rayon (Gotham Independent Film Award winner Jared Leto), a transsexual who shares Rons lust for life. Rayon also shares Rons entrepreneurial spirit: seeking to avoid government sanctions against selling non-approved medicines and supplements, they establish a buyers club, where H.I.V.-positive people pay monthly dues for access to the newly acquired supplies. Deep in the heart of Texas, Rons pioneering underground collective beats loud and strong. With a growing community of friends and clients, Ron fights for dignity, education, and acceptance. In the years following his diagnosis, the embattled Lone Star loner lives life to the fullest like never before.

Re: dallas buyers club

You know, my sister in law and brother were talking about this.  They said they each had to lose weight for these roles.  That McConaughey got a nutritionist and went about it the healthy way and that Leto did the complete opposite and just quit eating.  Both ending up losing I think a lot of weight for the parts.  Sounds really interesting.  McConaughey was in 'Mud' that I heard was really good actually.  Its been on my list of movies to watch for a while.

Mud was very good.  I liked it a lot.  I would definitely recommend it.  Just a good, old fashioned drama.
