BRAVEHEART

William Wallace is the medieval Scottish patriot who is spurred into revolt against the English when the love of his life is slaughtered. Leading his army into battles that become a war, his advance into England threatens King Edward I’s throne before he is captured and executed, but not before becoming a symbol for a free Scotland.

MIRACLE

Determined coach, Herb Brooks, had an impossible dream – beat the seemingly unbeatable Soviets at their own game. Starting with a handpicked group of undisciplined kids, Brooks coached them to play like they never played before, and turned them into a team that believed they could achieve the unachievable – and in the process, united a nation with a new feeling of hope.
