From Wikipedia’s entry on The Blues Brothers:
The Blues Brothers is a 1980 musical-comedy directed by John Landis and starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as “Joliet” Jake and Elwood Blues, characters developed from a “Saturday Night Live” sketch. It features musical numbers by soul legends, including James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, and epic car chase scenes.
The story is a tale of redemption for the paroled convict Jake and his brother Elwood, who take on “a mission from God” to save a Roman Catholic orphanage from closure. To do so they must reform their rhythm and blues band, the Blues Brothers, and organize a performance to earn $5,000 to pay the tax assessor. Along the way, they are targeted by a “mystery woman” and chased by the police, Nazis and a country and western band.
The film is set in Chicago, Illinois, and also features non-musical supporting performances by Carrie Fisher, John Candy and Henry Gibson.
