Sandra Bullock Tackles True Story in 'The Blind Side'

Canvas background demo

ET's Kevin Frazier sat down with Sandra Bullock and the stars of 'The Blind Side' -- and the real-life people whose touching story inspired the film!

'The Blind Side' may look like a football film, but it is really the story about the remarkable Tuohy family from Memphis and how the love and support they express for each other changes their lives -- and the life of the teenager they adopt.

'The Blind Side' finds Sandra as a well-to-do, conservative suburban woman who takes in a homeless African-American teen (newcomer Quinton Aaron) from a broken home to help him fulfill his potential. Faced with all-new challenges, the young man discovers a natural ability playing football and becomes an All-American offensive left tackle with NFL prospects.

Also starring Tim McGraw and Kathy Bates, the film is based on the best-selling book by Michael Lewis, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game.

'The Blind Side' will touch down in theaters on Nov. 20.

Watch the video for more from Sandra, the cast and the real-life family behind the story!
