The story : Ron Woodroof is a hard living , fast talking , rodeo riding cowboy.
It's 1985 and the biggest news story for Ron is Rock Hudsons passing from the AIDS virus.
Ron has been feeling under the weather and when he has a serious accident at work , he finds himself in the hospital.
The doctors who talk to Ron explain to him that they tested his blood and found that he has HIV.
They explain to him that he has about 30 days to live but Ron refuses to accept that and storms out.
As the days go by and hes not feeling any better Ron begins doing some research.
He learns that he could extend his life by taking a prescribed drug so he goes back to the doctor.
But the doctor insists that he has to be part of their study to recieve any drugs.
So Ron finds another way to get the drug but continues to live his hard lifestyle.
When his supplier runs out he gives Ron the name of a doctor in Mexico who can help him.
On his way to Mexico and almost dying on the way , Ron is nursed  back to health with natural alternatives that the other hospital didnt offer.
