Miracle on Ice

In 1979, the United States, which was caught in the Vietnam War and the Cold War, did not get reborn in the era of great technological development. Instead, it slipped into a crisis of confidence. The "American spirit" was shaken. Herb Brooks (Kurt Russell) is a meritorious coach who led the University of Minnesota ice hockey team to win three consecutive championships. Six months before the start of the Winter Olympics, Herb was ordered to form and train the new American ice hockey team. At that time, the Soviet ice hockey team occupied an absolute dominance in the international arena, winning consecutive Olympic gold medals since the 1960s. From the beginning of Herb's team formation, he viewed the Soviet Union as his ultimate opponent. Herb recruited outstanding ice hockey players from various universities to form a preliminary team of 26 people. In rigorous training, these non-professional players formed a truly combative group. Three days before the opening of the Olympic Games, the ice hockey teams of the United States and the Soviet Union held a warm-up match. Although the American team lost, Herb and his team members knew that the real competition would be at the Olympic Games... This film is adapted from the true story of the 1980 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
