Convinced they are on a ‘Mission from God’, ex-con brothers Jake (Belushi) and Elwood (Ackroyd), set about raising the funds to save the orphanage where they grew up from closure by uniting their old rhythm and blues band.
But along the way they must also tackle cops, neo-Nazis, a vengeful
country band and a heavily armed, silent mystery woman (played with relish by
Carrie Fisher) all hell-bent on bringing them down.
Featuring a host of iconic musical star cameos – including Ray Charles, James Brown and Aretha Franklin – as well as one of the most elaborate car chases ever filmed, The Blues Brothers is a truly ecstatic cinematic trip.
