The blind side is an American semi-biographical sports drama film, based on true story, from a book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. It begins with the presence of Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), a homeless African-American youngster from a broken home in the Touhys's live.

Slowly, Michael becomes a member of the Touhy family. SJ also treats him as his older brother and help him to be a good football player. Sean and Leigh Anne then adopt Michael Oher. They give everything to support Michael Oher's potency in sport, include hire a tutor, Miss Sue (Kathy Bates) to improve his GPA (Grade Point Average), so he can get a NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division I scholarship.
Finally, Michael Oher chooses University of Mississipi for his college and develops his potency to become a football player. At the end, Michael Oher succeed to be a star as an offensive lineman who plays for the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL.
