About the film
What it’s about
In 1980, the United States hockey team faced the Soviet Union in the Olympic semi-finals. The players return to the arena where they won, and their memories combine with previously unseen 16mm film to reconstruct the path to the gold medal.
What hooks you
The players speak for themselves about the victory, including forward Mike Eruzione and goalie Jim Craig. Directors Max Gershberg and Jacob Rogal draw on never-before-seen 16mm footage, and Mark Isham composed the music. The film revisits the event known as the "Miracle on Ice."
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys real-life underdog sports stories and the tension of a single high-stakes game. It will also appeal to those interested in Cold War history through a personal, ground-level perspective.
