Blind Side tells the true story of how one woman and her family pick up a homeless young black man off the streets of Memphis and turn his life around.
Sandra Bulluck plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, the affluent wife of former MBA basketball player Sean Tuohy, played by Tim McGraw.
The Tuohys spot "Big Mike" walking down the road after they've all left the Christian private school that the Tuohy's children and Mike attend. Leigh Anne decides to take this 300-pound 17-year old black kid into their home for the night.
Mike was brought into the school as a charity case. A nearly grown foster kid that has bounced from house to house, his mother is a crack addict and his father is unknown. He thinks he has somewhere between 10-12 brothers and sisters but he is unsure where they all are.
So by the time Leigh Anne meets him, he can barely read and he is so shut down that he won't hardly talk.
Bit by bit, Leigh Anne works with Michael to show him that there is hope, there is love and there is family.
Beth: You're changing that boy's life.
Leigh Anne Touhy: No, he's changing mine.
