Kurt Russell plays a brash college coach who is hired to direct the 1980 U. S. Olympic hockey team in the sports drama “Miracle.” He clashes with the temperamental college players on the team until they all realize they must unite to defeat their biggest rival – the super-talented Soviet team. Director Gavin O’Connor (“The Accountant” 2016) and screenwriter Eric Guggenheim put together an excellent sports drama which holds the audience’s attention for the entire 136 running time.
The cast co-starring with Kurt Russell includes Patricia Clarkson, Noah Emmerich, Sean McCann, Kenneth Welsh, Eddie Cahill, Nathan West, Kenneth Mitchell, Joseph Cure, Michael Mantenuto, Zinaid Memisevic, and sportscaster Al Michaels as himself in archival and voice-over footage only. The watchable “Miracle” was a modest hit at the box office for Walt Disney Pictures, Mayhem Pictures, Buena Vista Pictures Distribution, and The Walt Disney Company.
