This HBO Films drama tells the dramatic, poignant and often-exasperating story of the early days of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early 1980s, taking an unflinching look at the nation’s sexual politics as gay activists and their allies in the medical community fight to expose the truth about the burgeoning epidemic to a city and nation in denial. Directed by Emmy® winner Ryan Murphy (Eat Pray Love, Glee) and written by Larry Kramer (Oscar® nominee for Women in Love), adapting his groundbreaking, Tony Award-winning play of the same name. Mark Ruffalo, Matt Bomer, Taylor Kitsch, Jim Parsons, Alfred Molina and Julia Roberts star.
