From the studio that brought you THE ROOKIE and REMEMBER THE TITANS comes the movie everybody loves -- MIRACLE. Filled with exhilarating nonstop hockey action and heart-racing suspense, it's the inspiring true story behind one of the greatest moments in sports history — the 1980 United States ice hockey team's triumphant Olympic victory against the Soviet Union. Kurt Russell gives a brilliant performance as the dynamic and determined coach Herb Brooks, who had an impossible dream -- beat the seemingly unbeatable Soviets at their own game. Starting with a handpicked group of 26 undisciplined kids, Brooks coached them to play like they never played before, and turned 20 of them into a team that believed they could achieve the unachievable -- and in the process, united a nation with a new feeling of hope.

It Really Was A "Miracle"

What an amazing journey this team had. Herb Brooks is one of the greatest people who ever lived, not to mention an incredible hockey coach! This movie was such a fine recollection of the team, the work they did and the sheer glee that was felt nationwide when the did the impossible...great story, great movie.

Miracle

One of the most motivating films ever created. I used it to teach teamwork concepts to the team leaders at work. We spent over 5 hours watching, stopping, discussing and digesting the approach. It was full of enough drama to hold everyone's attention.

History lesson.

Miracle starring Kurt Russell is based on the U.S. Hockey team who won the gold medal at the Winter Olymic Games in Lake Placid. Good film and acting but this film is a bit too long and indulgent. Patricia Clarkson also stars, she is a very smart actress to say the least. If you like inspiring sport films than Miracle shall make your day, enjoy!

And they used the original sound track...

There a lot of great reviews out there for what is one of our top favorite flicks, but I don't seem to see what I thought was a great part of the production. I recently bought the video of the original game...which I can remember seeing like it was yesterday. We were shocked to find that the sound track from the original broadcast was used 100% in the movie, not an easy trick because the action then had to match what the announcers had said. This makes for a surprisingly real reproduction. And the Russian coach in the movie is dead ringer for the real guy who has to be seen to be appreciated.

Poor Product

I would like to be able to review this product but the DVD did not work in my DVD player. Neither the full length movie DVD or the DVD with the extra interviews. I would return it but the cost is not worth the effort. I had ordered this because I had the same problem with one I bought in the store and thought it was defective. This one did the same thing. All the other DVDs I have work in my DVD player. There is a tech assistance number but that was no help. I really liked the movie when I saw it on TV and that is why I wanted the DVD and to be able to see the interviews.
