Plot

Alex Gibney initially set out to document Lance Armstrong’s remarkable return to cycling in 2009. However, the project was halted when the doping scandal broke, only to be revived after Armstrong's eventual admission of guilt. The Armstrong Lie offers a captivating, behind-the-scenes look at the dramatic collapse of a sports legend. Through a mix of interviews and archival footage, it delves into the complexities of Armstrong’s deception, culminating in his own chilling acknowledgment: “I didn’t live a lot of lies, but I lived one big one.”
