I had seen this years ago on HBO, and videotaped it at that time. Obviously, this DVD is of far superior quality to that video. As always, HBO does a masterful job at telling the story of the 1980 "miracle on ice" Olympic Hockey team, and carefully explains, through interviews with players, Coaches( including the late Herb Brooks), and sportswriters both from our country and the then Soviet Union, why at that time in our nation's history , this was so much more than a mere hockey game. Liev Schreiber has to be the best narrator around, and those interviewed further recall the significance of the following game against Finland, which a lot of people forget, or simply don't realize, that our "kids" still had to come from behind and win in order to get the Gold Medal. Had that game been lost after the miraculous win against Russia, we might not have medaled at all. One of the greatest sports documentaries ever made, and certainly the #1 sporting event of the twentieth century. Nothing else even comes close, if you're an American !Read full review
