Amazon.com essential video:
You don't need to know anything about hockey to be moved by this hourlong documentary about one of the greatest upsets in sports history: the United States' defeat of the vaunted Russian Olympic hockey team at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. The film recounts the David vs. Goliath matchup between the Americans (essentially a group of college kids molded into a team by coach Herb Brooks, also the U.S. hockey coach in the 2002 Olympic games) and the Russians, professionals who had won four straight Olympic golds. The story is retold in interviews with the people who lived it, including Brooks and several of the American players, sportscaster Al Michaels (who uttered the title line as the game ended), and key Russian players. Do You Believe in Miracles? is a solid blend of sports and history that focuses on the human element in one of the great underdog victories of all time. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - Great Educational Material
I use this movie with my 10th Graders as a part of my Modern World Class. It really gives them the full perspective of the 1980 Winter olympics.
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.
