This is a true story about a 12 year old boy who was born with a birth defect known as hydrocephalus (water on the brain). He was handicapped and required to have a shunt to drain fluid off of his brain. He was left physically challenged for the rest of his life. The DVD movie, Miracle in Lane 2 is about this 12 year old boy named Justin Yoder. Justin Yoder won the national championship in the famous Soap Box Derby, and introduced the hand-brake that is know as the Yoder hand-brake. In the foibles of youth, Justin met a neighbor how lost his daughter in a swimming accident;
this same Father had his daughter racing in the Soap Box Derby. The neighbor had compassion for Justin and agreed to help him learn to race
in the soap box derby competitions. Then Justin's family became involved. The young actor, Frankie Muniz was the superb selection for the role of Justin Yoder and had the precocious talent to re-enact how Justin learned perseverance can overcome barriers. Frankie Muniz is gifted and worthy of a five-star rating! This is an ideal family movie and I have discreetly used it for families who have exceptional challenges. Disney has a super track record for movies with moral meanings anyone can learn from.

A great movie--the plot is based on the true story of Justin Yoder. It is very professional--good acting, good filming, good plot development. It has a good balance of character and emotions related to a disability. A family with a disabled member has many challenges, and this movie portrayed them quite realistically, and yet quite up-beat. It left the viewer with much to ponder.

What any concept 4 movie that a disabled boy in a wheelchair wanted to be like his big brother but it could do a sports like his big brother could so he had a good thought of being a soapbox racer driver

The message! Good movie & teaching tool for a growing family about relationships, neighbors, grief, disabilities, motivation & community.

I never knew what Spina Bifida was loved this movie, then a year later I gave birth to a boy with Spina Bifida and he likes this movie.

I really love this movie and I could not find it anywhere on line until I finally found it here on Amazon. It was at a very good price also. This being a true movie makes it worth watching.

Perfect!!!

A great Disney channel orignal
