(Starring Sandra Bullock / Directed by John Lee Hancock)

For 17 years, Michael Oher has been in foster care with different families. Every time he is sent to a new home, he runs off. After a series of hard experiences, he falls under the care of the Touhy family, who take him in and encourage his natural ability for athletics. With their support, he also develops his academics and slowly learns to recover some hope for his future, despite this beginnings in poverty and neglect.

In the movie the main character had a hard life: he was born to an absentee father and a drug-addicted mother. While the Touhy family were central in helping him turn his life around, at the end of the movie we see that no matter what outside influences (good or bad) you encounter in your life, it is your personal choices that will decide your destiny.

The movie is based on based on the 2006 book The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis.
