Dallas buyers club is a real story between 1980 and 1990, when AIDS was outbreaking, without any effective medicine to treat. At that time the drugs were under investigation, patients couldn't get access the drugs until the FDA (the authority) apporved the medicine. The death was around them, many patients tried some illegal methods to retrieve the drugs-smuggling and stealing, they just didn't want to die, desperately.  Matthew McConaughey(as Ron, a cowboy, who found the buyer club) and Jared Leto(as Rayon, a transgender woman, who help Ron in the story) in the film won the Academy Award for Best Actor and for Best Supporting Actor respectively.
