The Blues Brothers
"The Blues Brothers" is a 1980 American cult musical action comedy film, staring John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd, and directed by John Landis. Set in and around Chicago, Illinois, where it was filmed, the film features musical numbers by singers James Brown, Cab Calloway, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and John Lee Hooker.
The film is a story of redemption for Jake Blues, a blues vocalist and petty criminal, who is paroled from prison after serving three years of a five-year sentence for armed robbery and is picked up by his brother Elwood in his bluesmobile, a battered former police car.
Together they set out on "a mission from God" to prevent the foreclosure of the Roman Catholic orphanage in which they were raised. To do so, they must reunite their R&B band, the Blues Brothers, and organize a performance to earn the $5,000 needed to pay the orphanage's property tax bill. Along the way, they are targeted by a homicidal "mystery woman", neo-Nazis, and a country and western band - all while being relentlessly pursued by the police.
"The Blues Brothers" grossed more than $115 million worldwide and has become a cult classic in the years after its release.
