Everyone, especially children, knows that the holiday season is a time for miracles. However, six-year-old Susan Walker (Mara Wilson) has doubts about childhood's most enduring miracle...Santa Claus. This holiday season, Susan is going to receive the most precious gift of all: something to believe in. And she's about to discover that miracles do occur...The story relates the arrival of one Kris Kringle (Richard Attenborough), a department store Santa who believes he's the genuine article, and who subsequently turns a skeptical child's world upside-down. When Kris is put on trial to prove he's Santa, the youngster -- and everyone around her -- learns the true meaning of faith, the importance of family... and that even today, we all need something to believe in.

Miracle on 34th Street is a sweet, light-hearted, likeable and simple story about a man who is the physical representation of the intangible symbol of Christmas, Santa Claus himself. On the whole, it's an average film with a slightly hammy cast and a simple script. Little Mara Wilson is cute and Richard Attenborough is charismatic. In short, a film that undoubtedly belongs to the holidays of peace and quiet, but it is nothing special or memorable.
