Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

bigboy1069 I saw this for the first time today. I was 11 years old in 1980 so I have some recollection of this game. At the time, I remember my parents worrying about how much gas was costing, hearing about the hostages each night, and an inept President Carter. I didn't realize what a really big deal this was because I didn't fully realize how truly evil the USSR was. This was truly a monster upset and by far the most historic sporting event. Most non-sports fans probably have a passing interest in big events such as the Super Bowl or the World Series, but this one tops them all. The young men on that team won a gold medal and we were proud to be Americans again. Truly a national victory.

Baseball Movie Nut Does anyone know the name of the song that runs over the ending credits? I believe it's a Neil Young song, but am not sure.I just saw this (for the 15th time) on HBO yesterday. And for the 15th time I ended up teary-eyed, blubbering like a little kid.HBO has produced some fine sports documentaries, but this is, by far, the best one it has ever filmed. The interviews were all excellent with sound bites galore throughout the entire film. Jack O'Callahan's comments near the end about his realization that the team would disband and would never be in tact again was extremely poignant. Even the Soviet guys interviewed very well. The journalist (Igor Kuperman) was particularly funny.Anyway, this is a must-watch for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Thank you.

camselle This is one of those documentaries that starts out with that old jingoistic patriotic "Go America!!" feel, only to prove that that feeling is genuine in most of us. This remarkable film is second only to the event itself! And the US Olympic Hockey Team's triumph is in my opinion the second greatest upset in the history of all team sport. The biggest, of course, is the 1950 World Cup Final round when Uruguay defeated a HEAVILY favored Brazil in Rio to take the trophy.

big daddy yum yum This is the best sports documentary and team building video ever made. This is an inspirational experience and story. This makes you proud to be an American and makes you just want to say, God Bless America. If you aren't touched by this story, you don't believe in any miracles.
