By  |

Cycling fans loved his story of the comeback and his victory over cancer. After 7 Tour de France wins, Lance Armstrong thought he’d never get caught.

STUDIOCANAL and Working Title Films have released the first trailer for Academy Award nominated director Stephen Frears’ (PHILOMENA, THE QUEEN) film, THE PROGRAM.

The film stars Ben Foster, Chris O’Dowd, Lee Pace, Guillaume Canet, Jesse Plemons and Dustin Hoffman.

The film charts the thrilling rise of pro-cyclist Lance Armstrong through the 90s and early 2000s, battling cancer, as he and his fellow American teammates dominate and change the quintessentially European sport of cycling. Winning the Tour de France an unprecedented seven times, Lance retires as one of the great sporting heroes of our time, and worth millions of dollars.

David Walsh, sports writer, is at first charmed by Lance’s charisma and talent. Seven Tours later, and ostracised by the cycling community for speaking out, he believes the world is being sold a lie. A lone voice, it is several years before Lance is exposed.
