Synopsis
In 2009 director Alex Gibney set out to film The Road Back, a documentary on cyclist Lance Armstrong's comeback year after a four-year retirement from the sport. Three years later, on October 2012, a doping investigation led to his lifetime ban from competition and the stripping of his seven Tour de France titles, and the documentary was shelved. On January 14, 2013, three hours after his appearance on Oprah, Armstrong went back to Gibney to set the record straight about his career.
Cast
The documentary includes footage from Larry King Live, The Daily Show and the South Park episode "A Scause for Applause".
Reception
Reviews of the documentary have been positive, with an 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 108 reviews. Boyd van Hoeij of The Hollywood Reporter called it: "A quite absorbing but never riveting or revelatory overview of Armstrong’s career and testy personality."
