Soon he slips back into his old ways as a sneaky chicken thief and in
doing so, endangers not only his beloved family, but the whole animal
community. Trapped underground without enough food to go around, the

The Blind Side
Sandra Bullock ("The Proposal"), Tim McGraw ("Friday Night Lights") and
Oscar® winner Kathy Bates ("Misery") star in Alcon Entertainment and
Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Blind Side," which depicts the remarkable
true story of All-American football star Michael Oher.
In this scene from THE BLIND SIDE, Sandra Bullock's Anne convinces Michael to get out of the rain and sleep at her home for the night.
Movie Review: CineMovie TV reviews THE BLIND SIDE
Teenager Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) is surviving on
his own, virtually homeless, when he is spotted on the street by Leigh
Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock). Learning that the young man is one of her
daughter's classmates, Leigh Anne insists that Michael--wearing shorts
and a t-shirt in the dead of winter--come out of the cold. Without a
moment's hesitation, she invites him to stay at the Tuohy home for the
night. What starts out as a gesture of kindness turns into something
more as Michael becomes part of the Tuohy family despite the
differences in their backgrounds.
Living in his new environment, the teen faces a completely different
set of challenges to overcome. And as the family helps Michael fulfill
his potential, both on and off the football field, Michael's presence
in the Tuohys' lives leads them to some insightful self-discoveries of
their own.
"The Blind Side" is directed by John Lee Hancock ("The
Rookie"), who also wrote the screenplay based on the book The Blind
Side: Evolution of a Game by Michael Lewis. Gil Netter, Andrew A.
Kosove and Broderick Johnson produced the film with Molly Smith, Erwin
Stoff and Timothy M. Bourne serving as executive producers.
Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw star as Leigh Anne and
Sean Tuohy, and Kathy Bates stars as Michael Oher's dedicated tutor,
Miss Sue. Quinton Aaron is introduced in the central role of Michael
Oher. The film also stars young actors Lily Collins and Jae Head as the
Tuohy children, Collins and SJ, respectively.
The behind-the-scenes creative team is led by director
of photography Alar Kivilo, two-time Oscar®-nominated production
designer Michael Corenblith ("Apollo 13," "How the Grinch Stole
Christmas"), editor Mark Livolsi, costume designer Daniel Orlandi and
composer Carter Burwell.
"The Blind Side" is a presentation of Alcon
Entertainment and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a
Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
"The Blind Side" has been rated PG-13 by the MPAA for one scene involving brief violence, drug and sexual references.
