In what some sportscasters call the number one sports moment of the century, the U.S. Hockey Team amazingly beat the Soviets by a 4-3 score in the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics and took the Gold Medal. This program looks back at the event, referred to as "The Miracle on Ice," and shapes it into perspective today, 21 years later, through footage and interviews. Featured in the
documentary are U.S. players
Jim Craig and
Mike Eruzione (who made the winning point), U.S. Coach
Herb Brooks and Soviet players
Vladislav Tretiak and
Boris Mihailov. The team was so renowned for its feat that it appeared on a commemorative box of Wheaties in 1997.
