Dallas Buyers Club is inspired by the true story of Ron Woodroof. However, the plot is seen to change several real-life elements.
Dallas Buyers Club is a heavily acclaimed entry in Matthew McConaughey’s filmography but historians have noted how the biopic changed certain real-life elements to evoke more drama. Helmed by Jean-Marc Vallée, the 2013 film stars McConaughey as Ron Woodroof, a rodeo cowboy diagnosed with HIV in the mid-1980s. After he comes across a banned drug that ensures a longer survival, Woodroof takes it upon himself to smuggle the drug for fellow patients.
6 Dr. Eve Saks Is A Fictional Character Much like Rayon, Dr. Eve Saks also was absent from the Dallas Buyers Club's true story and is a fictional creation by the film’s writers. According to TIME, Borten and Wallack interviewed real-life doctors to combine their experiences of dealing with individuals living with HIV and AIDS to create the character of Eve Saks.
Moreover, in an essay for Vanity Fair, AIDS activist and Woodroof’s friend Peter Staley wrote about how he was approached to play a part in the film but the script’s inaccuracies, such as Woodroof being an initial denialist of the virus, disappointed him.
