Filem mengikut Oher dari asuhan kemiskinannya, melalui tahun-tahunnya di Wingate Christian School (perwakilan cereka Briarcrest Christian School di subbandar Memphis, Tennessee), diambil sebagai anak angkat oleh Sean dan Leigh Anne Tuohy, dan pada kedudukannya sebagai salah satu dari harapan yang tersembunyi secara tinggi di bola sepak kolej.

Wayang ini juga mencirikan kemunculan oleh beberapa jurulatih atau bekas jurulatih NCAA, termasuk jurulatih SEC Houston Nutt dan Ed Orgeron (jurulatih Oher di kolej, walaupun Nutt mewakili Arkansas pada waktu itu dan oleh itu dijadikan begitu dalam filem) dan Nick Saban (yang di LSU pada masa itu dan mewakili mereka dalam filem), bekas jurulatih Lou Holtz, Tommy Tuberville, Phillip Fulmer, dan juga merekrut penganalis Tom Lemming.

Jalan cerita

Untuk 17 tahun, Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) telah berada dalam jagaan kelaurga angkat dengan berlainan keluarga. Setiap kali dia dikirimkan ke sebuah rumah baru, dia melarikan diri. Salah seorang dari bapa kawannya, yang kerusi panjang dia meniduri atas, mendaftarnya ke dalam sebuah sekolah Kristian, selepas bapa kawannya meyakinkan jurulatih bahawa "Big Mike" adalah seorang yang bersifat olahragawan, tetapi dia menolak memukul orang ke tanah. Jurulatih meyakinkan guru besar sekolah untuk mendaftarnya ke dalam sekolah. Selepas sekolah satu hari, Michael bertemu Sean "SJ" Jr. (Jae Head), yang cepat-cepat berkawan dengan Michael. Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) adalah seorang pereka bentuk bahagian dalam bangunan yang berapi-api, ibu kepada SJ dan Collins (Lily Collins), dan isteri kepada Sean Tuohy (Tim McGraw). Selepas temasya Thanksgiving sekolah sebelum cuti, Leigh Anne menyedari Michael berjalan di jalan, menggigil dalam kesejukan; dia berkasihan keadaannya dan memberinya sebuah tempat untuk tinggal satu malam. Waktu pagi keesokannya, banyak pada perasaan kecewanya, dia mendapati Michael meninggalkan jalan masuk rumah dan meminta Michael untuk merayai Thanksgiving dengna keluarganya. Secara perlahan-lahan, Michael bermula menjadi sebahagian dari keluarga Touhy, walaupun kawan-kawan Anne memberinya amaran bahawa Michael dapat mengesan hidup sosial SJ dan Collins. Walau bagaimanapun, SJ dan Michael menjadi sahabat karib. Leigh Anne pergi ke sekolah untuk mengetahui persembahan akademi Michael dan surprised to learn that even though he has scored low in essentially every aspect, he scored in the 98th percentile in 'protective instincts'. Sean also talks to Michael and lists the Tuohys as his emergency contact and talks to the school coach to get Michael enrolled in the football team.

Possessed of enormous stature and titanic strength, Michael performs exceptionally on the field and catches the eye of many college coaches from around the state. SJ tells Michael that his mother cannot stand Tennessee. Leigh Anne discovers that to get a NCAA Division I Scholarship, Michael needs a 2.5 GPA. His current GPA is too low, so they hire a private tutor, Miss Sue (Kathy Bates), to raise his grades. The school teachers also take a special interest and start giving his tests orally rather than in written format. During one of his private tutor classes, Miss Sue, a University of Mississippi ("Ole Miss.") alumna, tells him that the FBI bury the body parts of the unrecognized dead people under the University of Tennessee's Neyland Stadium. Michael's heart aches and this is possibly shown as a reason for Michael opting to join University of Mississippi. Michael ends up with a GPA of 2.52 . Subsequently, Michael receives a call from the NCAA, who suspects that the Tuohys forced Michael to select Mississippi, rather than Tennessee, his home-state team. The investigator also tells him that the Tuohys were from Mississippi and his high school coach got a better job at Ole Miss after Michael chose Mississippi.

Michael leaves the investigation room and confronts Leigh Anne; he asks her if she only took him in so that he would play football for her alma mater. Michael goes to his birth mother's apartment in the projects, where his old friends at first welcome him, then make sexually suggestive remarks about his adoptive mother and sister. A fight ensues, in which Michael easily dispatches three armed thugs, and flees the scene. Leigh Anne goes in search of Michael. He finally calls her, and they meet at a neighborhood laundromat. Leigh Anne tells him that she wants him to choose which university he accepts a scholarship from and any decisions he makes in life will be supported by her. Michael returns to the NCAA office and tells the investigator that he chose Ole Miss because his whole family has gone to school there. Michael is accepted by Ole Miss with a football scholarship. Leaving Michael at school, Leigh Anne feels happy for what she has done for Michael and also what he has done for them all.

The film ends with the 2009 NFL Draft, showing the real-life Michael Oher being drafted by the Baltimore Ravens.

The end credits include a dedication to the director's father, also John Lee Hancock, a football player and coach who died in 2009.

Pengeluaran

The Blind Side was made by Alcon Entertainment and released by Warner Bros. The film was partially filmed at The Atlanta International School and The Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Georgia, and features many of their students. The film premiered on November 17 in New York City and New Orleans, and opened in theaters on November 20 in the rest of the United States and in Canada. Academy Award-winner Julia Roberts was originally offered a star role in the film but, just as she did with what became Bullock's blockbuster role in The Proposal, Roberts turned it down.

According to Reuters, the film's production budget was $29 million. Sandra Bullock, who had initially turned down the starring role three times due to discomfort with portraying a devout Christian, was not only won over, but also took a pay cut and agreed to receive a percentage of the profits.
