This extraordinary, uplifting film from director John Lee Hooker (The Rookie) is based on the true story of Baltimore Raven’s rookie tackle Michael Oher. Sandra Bullock gives a career best performance as a strong-willed, upper-class, Christian mother who takes a homeless, failing African-American teen (Quinton Aaron) with a football scholarship to a prestigious Memphis highschool into her family’s home. Despite being faced with an entirely different set of challenges from his new environment, he is helped by his new mom to fulfill his potential, while his presence in their lives leads the family to insightful self-discoveries.
