Excellent, with a parental warning

Very good documentary - other reviews are on target - the one thing I want to mention is that there are two instances of words you may not want younger viewers to hear (a g-d and two f's) near the end; the rest is clean. Both instances would be easy to mute if you know where they occur.
I highly recommend this to those who did not live in (or cannot remember) the 70's or the rest of the Cold War for that matter. I was 11 years old, with no interest in hockey at all, and even I remember where I was when I heard the news.

Do You Believe in Miracles DVD

Product shipped right away, which was great as I ordered it amongst the Olympics hoopla and wanted to see it before the final gold medal hockey match. This is the HBO documentary that I have seen many times over the years and is the best (and most accurate) retelling of that miraculous feat in 1980, documentary or movie.

I remember

I remember this event. I was 17 years old and sick and tired of our inability to recover the hostages. To this day, whenever I think about the win over the totally arrogant USSR (I watched it on the delayed feed) I get tears in my eyes. I truly believe this was the greatest moment in all of sports history. Better than Ali, better than Ohno, better than the Sox winning the series. This event was IT during the cold war. What a classic.

Great Value and Inspiring Movie

I ordered this DVD as a birthday gift for my husband and received it a day or two later. Yet another example of the incredible value and unbelieveable service I've come to expect from Amazon over the years.

As for the DVD itself, I found it be a well-made documentary on the 1980 Olympic Team. I found that it has more substance than your typical sports movie. It was an inspiring story set in a chaotic time in U.S. history.

I would highly recommend purchasing this movie.
