Miracle: The Boys of '80
In 1980, at the height of the Cold War, the US Hockey Team beat the USSR in the Olympic semi-finals and went on to a gold medal, a result that became known as the Miracle on Ice. This documentary tells that underdog story through 16mm footage that has never been shown before and through the players themselves, who were brought back to the scene of the win to talk about it firsthand.
Those voices include Mike Eruzione and Jim Craig from Boston University, Steve Janaszak and Buzz Schneider from the University of Minnesota, John Harrington from University of Minnesota Duluth, assistant coach Craig Patrick and trainer Gary Smith; head coach Herb Brooks appears in archive footage. Max Gershberg and Jacob Rogal direct. Released in 2026, the film runs 1h 48m and is rated PG-13.
IMDb voters have been warm to it: 7.9 from 787 ratings, with no Kinopoisk score listed.
