When Does "Miracle" (2004) Take Place?
"Miracle" is a historical fiction sports film written by Mike Rich with Eric Guggenheim that released February 6th, 2004. So when is "Miracle" set?
It takes place in the years:
We know this because early in the movie at the National Sports Festival (where the hockey players try out for the U.S. Olympic hockey team), there's a banner clearly labeled "1979".
1979 AD - 1980 AD
We know this because early in the movie at the National Sports Festival (where the hockey players try out for the U.S. Olympic hockey team), there's a banner clearly labeled "1979".
Furthermore, the very first frame of the very first shot includes a place and time setting title card that reads "COLORADO SPRINGS, 1979".
Finally, the end of the story depicts the 1980 AD Winter Olympics, specifically the famous final game of that year between the hockey teams of the United States of America and the Soviet Union on February 22nd, 1980 AD. So it is February of 1980 AD at the end.
