Filled with exhilarating action and heart-racing suspense, MIRACLE is 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. Golden Globe nominee* Kurt Russell (Executive Decision, Backdraft, Silkwood) gives a brilliant performance as the dynamic and determined coach Herb Brooks, who had an impossible dream - beat the seemingly unbeatable Russians at their own game. Starting with a handpicked group of twenty kids, Brooks coached them to play like they never played before, and turned them into a team that believed they could achieve the unachievable.
