Unlike the actual Miracle on Ice, 2020 doesn’t connect to any specific anniversary for this film, but it did celebrate its 15 th anniversary last year. It grossed over $64 million worldwide and scored good reviews with critics, and even nowadays, I find that many people still regard this as one of the best sports films of all-time.
Released by Disney and directed by Gavin O’Connor, the film was a solid success both critically and commercially upon its release. But now this brings us to the 2004 film adaptation of this historic event, simply titled Miracle. This moment in history would forever become known as the ‘Miracle on Ice’ and provided a jolt of national pride that America was arguably quite lacking at the time. But against all odds, coach Herb Brooks’ squad of amateur/college players pulled off the impossible and defeated the supposedly unbeatable Russians 4-3 on route to a historic Gold Medal run. At the time, the Soviet Union squad was one of the most dominant forces in Olympic history and had taken the Gold Medal in 5 of the last 6 Olympic Games.
Men’s Hockey Team played against the Soviet Union Men’s Hockey Team at the 13 th Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York. Today on The DisInsider, we’re celebrating the 40 th anniversary of one of the most iconic moments in not only the history of sports but also the history of the entire United States.
