The Blind Side

Seventeen-year-old Michael "Big Mike" Oher has been in foster care with different families in Oslo, Tennessee, due to his mother's drug addiction; and every time he is placed in a new home, he runs back to her. His father's friend, on whose couch Mike has been sleeping, asks Burt Cotton, the football coach of Wingate Christian School, to help enroll his son and Mike. Impressed by Mike's size and athleticism, Cotton gets him admitted despite his poor academic record. Later, Michael is befriended by a younger student named Sean Touhy, Jr./"SJ". SJ's mother, Leigh Anne, is a strong-minded interior designer and the wife of wealthy businessman Sean Sr.
