Synopsis

L'écrivain, journaliste américain Hunter S. Thompson, génial fauteur de troubles, précieux témoin d'une époque unique, sorte de poète, voire de prophète halluciné, amoureux désespéré d'une Amérique qui n'a cessé de le tromper, appartient à cette race de phénomènes typiquement «sixties» dont on ne retient généralement que les frasques. Ayant très jeune pris conscience que son appartenance à la classe moyenne inférieure le privait de privilèges accordés à ses amis mieux nantis, le jeune homme a développé un goût extrême pour la provocation. Celle-ci est devenue le carburant principal de son métier de journaliste. Chacune de ses investigations ont été plutôt des immersions, donnant naissance à des enquêtes bourrées d'anecdotes,, d'expériences souvent à la limite de la légalité.

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.
