Synopsis

The road to the NFL is paved with challenges for most athletes. But for a homeless, hard-luck Memphis teen named Michael Oher, it was a bumpier road than most. Based on a true story, this acclaimed drama earned Sandra Bullock a Best Actress Oscar® for her sparkling performance as a fiery Southern mom whose family takes in their daughter's hulking high-school classmate. Though they come from different worlds, Michael and his new family form a bond that transcends the world they live in--and brings the young Oher out of his shell both on and off the field.

Tim McGraw, Quinton Aaron and Kathy Bates co-star. Written and directed by John Lee Hancock, based on the book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game' by Michael Lewis.
