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

Product shipped right away, which was great as I ordered it amongst the Olympics hoopla and wanted to see it before the final gold medal hockey match. This is the HBO documentary that I have seen many times over the years and is the best (and most accurate) retelling of that miraculous feat in 1980, documentary or movie.

I remember this event. I was 17 years old and sick and tired of our inability to recover the hostages. To this day, whenever I think about the win over the totally arrogant USSR (I watched it on the delayed feed) I get tears in my eyes. I truly believe this was the greatest moment in all of sports history. Better than Ali, better than Ohno, better than the Sox winning the series. This event was IT during the cold war. What a classic.

I ordered this DVD as a birthday gift for my husband and received it a day or two later. Yet another example of the incredible value and unbelieveable service I've come to expect from Amazon over the years.
As for the DVD itself, I found it be a well-made documentary on the 1980 Olympic Team. I found that it has more substance than your typical sports movie. It was an inspiring story set in a chaotic time in U.S. history.
I would highly recommend purchasing this movie.

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.
