Lance is a fascinating, revealing, comprehensive chronicle of one of the most inspirational – and then infamous – athletes of all time.

Based around extensive interviews and conversations with Lance Armstrong, the two-part film tells the story of the cyclist’s rise out of Texas as a young superstar cyclist, his harrowing battle with testicular cancer, his recovery and emergence as a global icon with his seven consecutive Tour de France titles, and then his massive fall after he was exposed in one of the largest doping scandals in history.

The film is set against the backdrop of competitive cycling and tracks the widespread corruption of the sport caused by the pervasive use of performance-enhancing drugs. Show less
