Read enough around the events of the 1972 Olympics gold medal basketball game and one thing is clear: this isn't a documentary, it's a sports fable. And what good one too.

If you've watched Hoosiers or Rudy, and aren't particularly political, you'll see that this film is built on the same formula and has the same mojo going for it. Grab us with human interest stories, get us to care and root for them, and make the sport the canvas for the drama.

Take what you see with a pinch of salt - the events were so long ago and yet remain debated to this day. Don't come to this film looking for the facts, come to it for the fun of a well told story.

On April 19, 2017, the mother and son of Kondrashina and Ovchinnikov filed for Studio "TriTe" Nikita Mikhalkov in the Presnensky District Court of Moscow lawsuit" on the prohibition of the dissemination of information about private life, "the satisfaction of which by a court decision of September 4, 2017 plaintiffs were refused (due to the fact that during the consideration of the case the defendant made changes in the scenario taking into account the circumstances stated in the statement of claim).

So you see, these changes were made to avoid getting sued!

For me it's a great drama and i's surprised it only has a 6.9 rating.

Great movie about that olympic game. If you think theres misinformation in this movie, google the 1972 olympic basketball final.

Sure the movie is entertaining, given the fact that it plagiarized Miracle (2004). If you really think about it the movie makes very little sense both story wise and characters' motivation. The relationships of the characters have no actual development, there are a lot of plots that were put in simply for the dramatic effect. It is an insult to the actual people that are portrayed in the movie how they change all of them, almost if not all the characteristics of the players are made up and don't actually represent the people behind the names. Maybe worst of all is the advertising of the movie, getting called "a documentary" or saying that it is an accurate retelling, when it couldn't be farther from the truth. The director prides himself on the accuracy of the movie when a lot of things in the movie are anything but the truth. If you want to watch a better movie, with character motivations that make sense and a plot that doesn't contradict itself watch "Miracle".

This is perhaps the best Russian film in the last 20 years!

Stunning movie Interesting, lively, funny, dramatic. In comparison with the previous work - Legend 17, the creators paid much attention not to one character, but to the entire team, where each person, not the screen, also paid much attention to the coach and his family. I empathized, laughed and cried. In the cinema, in which I was, the whole audience stood applauding.

I do not know if this film was released in other languages, but I advise all fans of the sports drama genre to get acquainted with this amazing work.

Sorry for my bad english.
