Tre secondi per la vittoria

I'm not a big fan of Russian cinema, but this film worth attention. It's much better then "Legend N17" and other Russians sports dramas what I have seen before.

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.

The first time I watched this movie, I liked it. I would probably recommend it and give it 7-8 star review. Thanks to BadComedian's review I realized that this movie is full of disinformation and crap. Think for yourselves.

This movie on the miracle of the Soviet basketball team is very interesting and inspiring. Great work

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