ResumoDallas Buyers Club begins with a glimpse of a rodeo. A cowboy struggles to remain astride a furious bull. In an adjacent enclosure, Ron Woodruff (Matthew McConaughey) is working up a sweat of his own. There is panting and snorting (cocaine rather than the arid air of the southern summer); and if Ron allows his attention to wander from hard drugs and willing women, he might even convince himself that the cheers are for his own performance. Later, he takes bets on the outcome of a forthcoming contest and has hit upon a foolproof way to beat the odds: if he wins he collects, if he doesn't he runs away.
