Miracle (Widescreen Edition)

Product Description 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 twenty-six undisciplined kids, Brooks coached them to play like they never played before, and turned twenty 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. Review "HOT! Kurt Russell has never been better...this film is irresistible." -- Leonard Maltin - Hot Ticket "Kurt Russell is perfect as Herb Brooks, and the hockey scenes are nothing short of spectacular." -- E.M. Swift - Sports Illustrated "Miracle gives audiences something to cheer for..." -- Peter Travers - Rolling Stone "Riveting. An emotional shot in the dark. Kurt Russell at his best." -- Jeffrey Lyons - NBC-TV "The game scenes constitute some of the best sports footage created for the movies." -- Sean Axmaker - Imdb.com
