Gavin O'Connor directs the
sports drama Miracle, based on the true story of the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid.
Kurt Russell stars as hockey coach
Herb Brooks, who assembles a U.S. team of underdogs. No one thinks they can make it, as they are up against the previously undefeated Soviet hockey team. Despite the odds,
Brooks leads the U.S. team to victory. As the 1980 Winter Olympics happen to coincide with the Cold War, the event is interpreted as patriotic. Also starring
Eddie Cahill and
Patricia Clarkson,
Miracle was distributed by
Walt Disney Pictures.
