Quick Synopsis
In 1980, Herb Brooks takes on the role of head coach for the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team, composed mainly of talented but inexperienced college players. Despite their initial struggles and a humiliating loss early in the tournament, Brooks uses his unconventional coaching methods to build teamwork and determination among the players. As the team improves, they prepare to face the dominant Soviet team, which is widely expected to win the gold medal.
