Screen favorite Emilio Estevez (Stakeout, Young Guns) stars in The Mighty Ducks, the hilarious comedy that made moviegoers stand up and cheer! Tough trial lawyer Gordon Bombay (Estevez) never loses. But when he's slapped with a community service assignment, he must coach a ragtag team of pee wee hockey players who can't skate, can't score and can't win! Reluctantly, Bombay takes on the assignment and soon realizes that there are more important things than winning. Armed with this new attitude, feathers fly as Bombay and The Ducks battle along to the toughest game of their lives.

Plot Summary
An unruly group of kids needs a coach for their hockey team, and they end with a seemingly heartless exec who's looking to beat a drunk-driving rap by doing community service. After much trial and error, "Coach" teaches the boys that cooperation can help them overcome their opponents' superior skills and expertise. And along the way, their young instructor learns a few things about himself -- like the importance of family and friends.
