Based on the extraordinary true story of Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy, a couple who take in a homeless and traumatised teenage African- American, Michael ‘Big Mike’ Oher. With the help and commitment of Leigh Anne and her family, Oher went from being an illiterate teenager to an All-American football player and first-round NFL draft pick for the Baltimore Ravens. Underdogs have never been so big as the gigantic Michael is finally given the skills he needs to excel in his life. He helped the Ravens win the Superbowl in 2012 and after a year hiatus, signed a five-year $20 million deal with the Tennessee Titans. Oher now plays for the Panthers. This heart-wrenching film earned Sandra Bullock the Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for her portrayal of Leigh Anne.
