Screening of the film “Miracle” produced by Disney, in anticipation of the upcoming Winter Olympics in Bormio. A film that celebrates sports and the Olympic spirit
Plot
It is the story of the United States ice hockey team coached by former champion and then coach Herb Brooks who won the gold medal at the 1980 Winter Olympics, defeating the strong and favored Soviet team, considered the strongest ice hockey team of all time and coming off four consecutive gold medals (1964, 1968, 1972, and 1976), in a crescendo of sporting challenges intertwined with the difficulties the coach faces in getting his proposals accepted, despite the solidarity and trust of the technicians for a challenge that appears impossible.
Tensions and nervousness among the players are calmed by Brooks's genuinely sporting spirit before facing the final true challenge between blocs on either side of the Iron Curtain. The account of the American victory in one of the last battles of the Cold War becomes the story of a miracle, for those who still believe and are willing to play as a team to win. This event, told in a simple style in a film for young people, has entered sports history as the "miracle on ice".
