Bonus features include audio commentary with director Gavin O'Connor, director of photography Dan Stoloff and editor John Gilroy, the "Miracle ESPN Roundtable with Linda Cohn" TV excerpt, a quartet of featurettes ("Making of Miracle," "From Hockey to Hollywood: The Actors' Journeys," "The Sound of Miracle," "First Impressions: Herb Brooks with Kurt Russell and the Filmmakers") and outtakes.
