Plot: The inspiring story of the team that transcended its sport and united a nation with a new feeling of hope. Based on the true story of one of the greatest moments in sports history, the tale captures a time and place where differences could be settled by games and a cold war could be put on ice. In 1980, the United States Ice Hockey team's coach, Herb Brooks, took a ragtag squad of college kids up against the legendary juggernaut from the Soviet Union at the Olympic Games. Despite the long odds, Team USA carried the pride of a nation yearning from a distraction from world events. With the world watching the team rose to the occasion, prompting broadcaster Al Michaels' now famous question, to the millions viewing at home: Do you believe in miracles? Yes!

Quotes:

Herb Brooks: Great moments... are born from great opportunity. And that's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played 'em ten times, they might win nine. But not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate with them. Tonight, we stay with them. And we shut them down because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players. Every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time. Their time is done. It's over. I'm sick and tired of hearing about what a great hockey team the Soviets have. Screw 'em. This is your time. Now go out there and take it.

Herb Brooks: That look like hockey to you? [pause] To me it looks like two monkeys trying to hump a football.

Herb Brooks: [after the fight between O' Callahan and McClanahan breaks up] Well, how 'bout it boys? Look like hockey to you? Looks more like a couple monkeys trying to hump a football to me, I don't know. What do you think Craig?::Craig Patrick: [pause] Yeah.::Herb Brooks: You wanna settle old scores, you're on the wrong team. We move forward starting right now. We start becoming a team RIGHT NOW! Skating. Passing. Flow. And creativity. That is what this team is all about, gentlemen. NOT old rivalries. So, why don't we start with some introductions. You know, get to know each other a little bit. Where you from. Who you are. Go ahead.::[looks at McClanahan]::Rob McClanahan: [rolls his eyes] Rob McClanahan. St. Paul Minnesota.::Herb Brooks: Who do you play for?::Rob McClanahan: I play for you, here at the U.::Herb Brooks: [looks at OC] Jack?::Jack O'Callahan: Jack O'Callahan. Charlestown, Mass. Boston University.::Herb Brooks: [looks at Ralph Cox] Over here.::Cox: I'm Ralph Cox. I'm from where ever's not gonna get me hit!::Herb Brooks: Very good. Everybody on the line, let's go!

Herb Brooks: Red line, back. Blue line, back. Far blue line, back. Far red line, back. And you have 45 seconds to do it. Get used to this drill. You'll be doing it *a lot*. Why? Because the legs feed the wolf, gentlemen. I can't promise you we'll be the best team at Lake Placid next February. But we will be the best conditioned. That I can promise you.

Al Michaels: Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? YES!

Bill Baker: These guys ever smile?::Jack O'Callahan: They're Russians. They get shot if they smile.

Herb Brooks: When you pull on that jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates. And the name on the front is a hell of alot more important than the one on the back! Get that through your head!

Craig Patrick: You're missing some of the best players.::Herb Brooks: I'm not looking for the best players, Craig. I'm looking for the right ones.

Herb Brooks: Take a look at this.::Craig Patrick: What's this?::Herb Brooks: Twenty-six names.::[pause]::Herb Brooks: The tough part will be getting it down to twenty before the opening ceremonies.::Craig Patrick: This is the final roster? You're kidding me, right? This is our first day, Herb. We've got a week of this. What about the advisory staff? Aren't they supposed to have a say in this?::Herb Brooks: Not technically.::Craig Patrick: You're missing some of the best players.::Herb Brooks: I'm not looking for the best players, Craig. I'm looking for the right ones.::Craig Patrick: You have Jim Craig to back up Janisack?::Herb Brooks: Other way around.::Craig Patrick: Other way around? I'm sorry didn't Janisack just win you a national championship?::Herb Brooks: Janny is a solid goal tender, but we're not playing for the national championship here, Craig.::Craig Patrick: You know people I speak to say that Craig's game has been off since his mom died.::Herb Brooks: They ever see him when his game's on?

Herb Brooks: You think you can win on talent alone? Gentlemen, you don't have enough talent to win on talent alone.
