Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video: You don't need to know anything about hockey to be moved by thishourlong documentary about one of the greatest upsets in sports history: theUnited States' defeat of the vaunted Russian Olympic hockey team at the 1980Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The film recounts the David vs.Goliath matchup between the Americans (essentially a group of college kidsmolded into a team by coach Herb Brooks, also the U.S. hockey coach in the 2002Olympic games) and the Russians, professionals who had won four straight Olympicgolds. The story is retold in interviews with the people who lived it, includingBrooks and several of the American players, sportscaster Al Michaels (whouttered the title line as the game ended), and key Russian players. Do YouBelieve in Miracles? is a solid blend of sports and history that focuses onthe human element in one of the great underdog victories of all time. --Marshall Fine
Customer Reviews Average Rating:  Rating: - Fantastic Movie It really shows you what was going on with the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team from the player's perspective.It talks about what was happening at the time and the mood of the nation, but best of all it gives the response from the opposing team, the russians!Nobody was supposed to beat these guys.A must have movie for any sports fan.
Rating: - Great footage! wonderful to see actual footage of a game I missed that lifted the spirits of all of us. The only way this video could have been better would have been to include the entire game with the Soviets as well as the others. Might be nice, too, to have the films of the 1960 team, our first gold medal in hockey.
Much better than the movie with Kurt Russell. Seeing, hearing Herb Brooks, Mike Eruzionne, et al was extraordinary. I continue to watch and never fail to get goose bumps.
Rating: - Excellent documentary I ordred this DVD for my husband who attended the 1980 U.S Hockey game. The DVD came packaged in great shape and we have had no problems with it. It's informative and an excellent documentary.
Rating: - What a great story!! What an inspiration!!After seeing the movie "Miracle" I had to see this, the actual true story.As a hockey fan, this makes me love the sport even more.
Rating: - Uplifting and inspirational What's not to like about this uplifting and inspirational portrayal of a real life sporting event!A feel good movie that doesn't grow old, evenwith repeated viewings...
