Embodies the spirit of American sports.

Rating: 8/10 (8 February 2004)

Miracle is not a good movie because it tells a story of "The Miracle on Ice", Miracle is a good movie because it brings forward all the problems this country was having at that time. This movie made it clear that this Miracle wasn't just one for American hockey fans, it was one for Americans all-together because it gave them hope of better things to come. As have most sports films created by Disney, this movie doesn't just focus on the sport or on an event, it brings real issues to the front and relates them with the way sports can bring people together. Russell did an excellent job displaying the demeanor and dedication of Brooks. This movie is very inspiring and a must see. It had me wanting to jump out of my seat when the U.S. won, even though I already knew what was going to happen.
