When college coach Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell) is hired to helm the 1980 U.S. men's Olympic hockey team, he brings a unique and brash style to the ice. After assembling a team of hot-headed college all-stars, who are humiliated in an early match, Brooks unites his squad against a common foe, the heavily-favored Soviet team. As the U.S. squad tries to overcome insurmountable odds and win the gold medal, the team becomes a microcosm for American patriotism during the Cold War.

Kurt Russell's performance guides this cliche-ridden tale into the realm of inspirational, nostalgic goodness.

The game remains one of the best moments in sports history. "Miracle" depicts America's spiritual triumph over the Specter of Communism. The implications of this Olympic showdown went far beyond the scope of sports, in the grand scheme of things.

Works not just as a sports film, but as an interesting study of relationships strengthened by sports.

The greatest underdog story of all time. This movie is filled with inspirational moments and quotes. The film represents the golden era of Disney produced films. RIP Herb Brooks

Patriotic USA movie that is Inspiring and heartfelt. Solid performances throughout, even though KR's accent is sometimes distracting. A missed opportunity in terms of portraying the Christian influence of player Mark Johnson, who scored two goals in the pivotal game.
