The whole world knows the outcome of the big Olympic game in "Miracle," yet director. Gavin O'Connor manages to find the tension and soul to this exploration of victory, and the skill of coach Herb Brooks.
The outcome was sports history. During the 1980 Winter Olympic games, the United States hockey team went from being underdogs, almost entirely counted out, to winning the gold medal by defeating their rivals, the previously unbeatable Soviet Union team. "Miracle" details the hardships, tragedies, and dedication it took coach Herb Brooks, played by Kurt Russell to assemble the team, and the toll it took on his personal life.
