This is a good example of how true stories make good movies. You know how it is going to turn out yet the movie provides decent suspense. It starts off with preparation for the games and Olympics and then shows the actual games against European countries, especially the Soviet Union. The hockey game scenes are first rate, the the Soviet upset game was terrific. Kurt Russell was great as Herb Brooks, the head coach, was was very tough and disciplined, and the movie was very well cast overall. I enjoyed watching it and guarantee that you will too. Sports movies, especially hockey movies, are always fun to watch. This was well done.
