Funny how different people have different definitions of what constitutes a miracle. For many, it's an act of God - fishes and loaves, water to wine and whatnot. For others, it's when a hodgepodge of college hockey players are physically and psychologically abused and manipulated by their coach so they can beat a team of professional-level soviet players. Such is the story of Team USA at the Lake Placid Olympic games, as depicted in the Disney film MIRACLE. And if you're wondering what kind of twists and turns that story might take, or what kind of comradery may have been forged between team and coach alike...well, prepare to be disappointed cause this is basically as straight-ahead a story adaptation as you can get. That's right, it's a Disney movie about playing a game of hockey that involves, in the words of another Disney sports coach: "Zero fun, sir!"
