Nominated for Best Motion Picture at the 2010 Academy Awards®, THE BLIND SIDE is the story of two unlikely strangers uniting with life changing outcomes. Teenager Michael Oher is cold, alone and virtually homeless when he is spotted on the street by Leigh Anne Tuohy and invited to stay at their home for the night.
What starts out as a gesture of kindness turns into something more as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family. Living in his new environment, Michael 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.
