Miracle Miracle is an early 21st century film based off the composition, conditioning, and action of the Olympic hockey team of the United States of America of the year of 1980 that took place in the New York City. Earlier, the US had refused to go to the Moscow Olympics, so the Soviets just decided to beat the US at their own home-field. Herb Brooks (portrayed by Kurt Russel) is employed to assemble the team, and get it ready to compete in the 1980 Winter Olympic Games. The events of this movie take place when the tensions of the Cold War were at arguably their highest point.
