The Olympic Team That Melted a Nation's Heart
Russell is terrific as coach Herb Brooks.
Miracle's most concrete achievement is in showing how, step by demanding step, Brooks was able to transform 20 young men used to playing as stellar individuals -- the American way -- into an unintimidate-able, egoless team, i.e., the Soviet way. Miracle gives every American something to cheer for.
Powerful in its recreation of a magical time and place and it really does make us believe that miracles are possible.
