The Armstrong Lie

Documentarian Alex Gibney had set out to make a straightforward chronicle of Lance Armstrong's return to competitive cycling, culminating with the bid to capture the 2009 Tour de France. In the wake of his subject's subsequent admission to doping and plunge from grace, the filmmaker shifted his focus to the whys and hows of Armstrong's win-at-all-costs mindset, from the race course to the preservation of his public image. 124 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, Thai.
