One of the great universal truths is that dads love sports movies. Another is that they love Kurt Russell. So, when it comes to the 2004 movie "Miracle," about the "Miracle on Ice" hockey game at the 1980 Winter Olympics, which saw the underdog U.S. team defeat the much more experienced Soviets, there basically is no greater "dad movie." Russell plays University of Minnesota head coach Herb Brooks, who became the head coach for the U.S. Olympic team. He's a titan of not just hockey history but sports history, and "Miracle" is a two-hour testament to his greatest moments. But how accurate is it, really?

The real-life Miracle on Ice was already pretty spectacular and tailor-made for dramatization, with the team falling behind in the second period and coming back in the third to tie things up and then win the game, but the filmmakers behind "Miracle" had to make some changes for storytelling reasons.
