Gavin O'Connor directs the sports drama Miracle, based on the true story of the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid. Kurt Russell stars as hockey coach Herb Brooks, who assembles a U.S. team of underdogs. No one thinks they can make it, as they are up against the previously undefeated Soviet hockey team. Despite the odds, Brooks leads the U.S. team to victory. As the 1980 Winter Olympics happen to coincide with the Cold War, the event is interpreted as patriotic. Also starring Eddie Cahill and Patricia Clarkson, Miracle was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

Media saturation might have dampened enthusiasm for the electoral process, but the fact is that the 2000 Presidential race was one for the history books. For 36 days, the executive branch lacked a future leader as Florida became mired in details. Like all news agencies, CNN stepped up coverage in an attempt to explain the complicated and often tedious proceedings. CNN: Election 2000 -- 36 Days That Gripped the Nation is a wrap-up of the whole debacle featuring behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with reporters involved, including Julie Woodruff, Bernard Shaw and Larry King. ~ Sarah Ing, Rovi
