Filled with exhilarating nonstop hockey action and heart- racing suspense, it's the inspiring true story behind one of the greatest moments in sports history--- the 1980 United States ice hockey team's triumphant Olympic victory against the Soviet Union. Kurt Russell gives a brilliant performance as the dynamic and determined coach Herb Brooks, who has an impossible dream-- beat the seemingly unbeatable Soviets at their own game. Starting with a handpicked group of twenty-six undisciplined kids, Brooks coached them to play like they never played before, and turned twenty of them int a team that believed they could achieve the unachievable -- and in the process, united a nation with a new feeling of hope.
