Very inspirational submitted by smgop on August 15, 2015, 7:59pm Loved this movie retelling the story of the 1980 US Men's Hockey team. Unfortunately the DVD we checked out was badly scratched so we had to skip over a bunch of it, but I look forward to watching it straight through some day!

Classic and Inspirational submitted by Maria Maguire on July 6, 2018, 1:52pm Based on the "Miracle on Ice" during the 1980 Olympics, this movie follows the US men's hockey team on their difficult path to victory. It also contains what is possible the greatest pre-game speech of all time from Coach Herb Brooks. This movie is a must see for all athletes, especially hockey players.

Spoiler: The Scrappy Upstarts Win submitted by Meginator on July 11, 2021, 12:36pm This film is a fairly straightforward depiction of the Miracle on Ice, when a team of amateur hockey players from the United States famously beat out the top-ranked, basically professional team from the Soviet Union on home soil in the 1980 Winter Olympics. The story is nearly unbelievable, one of those feel-good (for the Americans, anyway) tales that seems too good to be true except it did actually happen. The skating and hockey scenes are of unusually high quality, and it’s clear that the filmmakers cast actors who could actually skate, which lends the film a sense of credibility and makes it feel more real and more lived-in than a lot of similar films. The performances are good and the script resists the temptation of the type of saccharine platitudes that could easily make the film unwatchable. Instead, the film is a lightly fictionalized version of the truth that celebrates the hard work and determination that led to one of the most iconic sports moments of all time. I highly recommend this for all hockey fans and anyone who enjoys a good sports story.
