Review
"Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto give terrific performances in this riveting and surprisingly relatable true story."--Variety"...powerful, enlightening and not to be missed."--Rex Reed"A solid biopic is made transcendent by McConaughey..."--Newsday"Once we get past McConaughey's stunning transformation, we're transfixed by a performance that reminds us of why this guy became a movie star in the first place."--Richard Roeper

Summary
Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof's free-wheeling life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive. Shunned and ostracized by many old friends and bereft of government-approved medicines, he decided to take matters in his own hands, tracking down alternative treatments from all over the world by means both legal and illegal. Bypassing the establishment, he joined forces with an unlikely band of renegades and outcasts and established a hugely successful 'buyers' club.'
