黑人男孩奥赫(昆东•亚伦 Quinton Aaron 饰)自幼父母离异,无家可归。不过,木讷的他却因为极强的身体条件和运动天赋,幸运地进入了一家私立基督教高中。虽然,他科科零分,但是一些细节却让他显得与众不同。一次排球比赛后,他主动收拾垃圾的行为,引起了陶西一家的注意。于是,陶西太太(桑德拉•布洛克 Sandra Bullock 饰)决定收养奥赫,并把他培养成橄榄球选手。陶西太太让他感受到了家庭的温暖。同时,陶西的儿子还帮助奥赫训练,使他很快地融入了橄榄球队的生活,不断激发运动的潜能。终于,在一次比赛中,他因出色的表现崭露头角,开始获得了球探的关注,随之带来了一系列的甜蜜和麻烦…… 本片根据迈克尔•刘易斯(Michael Lewis)的原著《弱点:比赛进程》(The Blind Side Evolution of the Game)改编,取材自2009年美国国家橄榄球联盟(National Football League)选秀状元迈克尔•奥赫的非凡经历。荣获第82届奥斯卡最佳女主角奖(Sandra Bullock)。
Inspired by true life events, in the Oyo Empire in the 1940's, Elesin Oba, the king's chief horseman, succumbs to the lure of beauty and sexual desire on the very evening he is set to die in order to fulfil his lifelong debt of ritual suicide to accompany the dead Alaafin to the realm of the ancestors, he derails from a very important generational and spiritual transaction. This sets in motion a series of catastrophic consequences, in a spell-binding film of emotions, humour, and tragic role reversals that puts ancient beliefs and customs on trial in an ever increasingly post-modern and Western world.
