Overview

The Armstrong Lie is a 2013 American documentary film directed by Alex Gibney about the cyclist Lance Armstrong.

Following Armstrong's confession, the film was re-opened and picked up in 2013 to present an insider's view of the unraveling of one of the most extraordinary stories in sports history. The subject of the documentary shifted in light of renewed allegations of doping against Armstrong, capturing the dismantling of the narrative surrounding his career.
