''Miracle Run'' is a 2004 Creator/{{Lifetime}} movie written by Mike Maples and directed by Gregg Champion. It focuses on Corrine Morgan (Creator/MaryLouiseParker), a single mother who finds out that her twin sons Steven (Jake Cherry) and Phillip (Creator/JeremyShada) are autistic. She works with a therapist to teach them language and social skills, and over the years the brothers flourish. As they enter high school, Steven (now played by Creator/ZacEfron) develops a passion for athletics, while Phillip (Bubba Lewis) discovers a musical gift.
