Lance Armstrong was considered one of the greatest sports figures of all time and put competitive cycling into the global spotlight, by beating cancer and winning the Tour de France seven times. Beginning in 2009, Academy Award winning documentarian Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, Enron) followed Armstrong for four years chronicling his return to cycling after retirement, as he tried to win his eighth title.  Unexpectedly, Gibney was also there in 2012 when Armstrong admitted to doping after years of vehement denial.  Meticulously researched and with unparalleled access to Armstrong and his former teammates, Gibney creates a riveting portrait of Armstrong's spectacular rise to fame and ultimate fall to disgrace.

(USA, 2013)  Directed by Alex Gibney.  123 min.
