The Blind Side de­picts the re­mark­able true sto­ry of Michael Oher, a home­less African-​Amer­i­can young­ster from a bro­ken home, tak­en in by the Touhys, a well-​to-​do white fam­i­ly who help him ful­fill his po­ten­tial. At the same time, Oher’s pres­ence in the Touhys’ lives leads them to some in­sight­ful self-​dis­cov­er­ies of their own. Liv­ing in his new en­vi­ron­ment, the teen faces a com­plete­ly dif­fer­ent set of chal­lenges to over­come. As a foot­ball play­er and stu­dent, Oher works hard and, with the help of his coach­es and adopt­ed fam­i­ly, be­comes an All-​Amer­i­can of­fen­sive left tack­le. Star­ring San­dra Bul­lock, Tim Mc­Graw, Kathy Bates, Quin­ton Aaron, Lily Collins and Jae Head.
