US musical comedy co-written and directed by John Landis. Blues Brothers Jake and Elwood (John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd) have sold their souls to rhythm n blues, but still lend a hand when the church orphanage in which they were raised is threatened with closure. Resolving to get their old band together and stage a fundraising gig, the brothers have God on their side but everyone else against them - including an angry gang of neo-Nazi thugs, the massed ranks of the Chicago police force, and Jakes psychotic ex-girlfriend Camille (Carrie Fisher).
