Teenager Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) is surviving on his own,
virtually homeless, when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne
Tuohy (Sandra Bullock). Learning that the young man is one of her
daughter's classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael-wearing
shorts and a t-shirt in the dead of winter-come out of the cold.
Without a moment's hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Tuohy
home for the night. What starts out as a gesture of kindness turns
into something more as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family
despite the differences in their backgrounds. Living in his new
environment, the teen faces a completely different set of challenges
to overcome. And as the family helps Michael fulfill his potential,
both on and off the football field, Michael's presence in the
Tuohys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of
their own.
