True story of how Leigh Ann Tuohy and her well-to-do family took in a disadvantaged black kid by the name of Michael "Big Mike" Oher and eventually adopted him. They help him with his academics and realize his natural talent in football. He was so good, all the college football coaches came knocking on their door. He went on to play for Ole Miss, his parents' alma mater, and was later drafted by the Baltimore Ravens.
Story's pretty straightforward. To make things interesting, there was a bit of drama where Leigh Ann pulled up beside a wet and cold Big Mike and offered him a place to stay; some suspense when Big Mike went to town with little S.J. in his brand new SUV and wrecked it; and a little controversy when Big Mike was investigated over his choice of Ole Miss over LSU and Tennessee.
