Jake Blues is just out of jail, and teams up with his brother, Elwood on a ‘mission from God’ to raise funds for the orphanage in which they grew up.

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (32 movies items)

"Pros: Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, as Jake and Elwood Blues. The musical performances, and cameos. Car chases, and endless mayhem. The many memorable moments, and quotes. The performances, put on by The Blues Brothers."

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1108 movies items)

" After his release from prison, Jake (John Belushi) reunites with his brother, Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) -- collectively known as the "Blues Brothers." Jake's first task is to save the orphanage the brothers grew up in from closing, by raising $5,000 to pay back taxes. The two are convinced they can earn the money by getting their old band back together. However, after playing several gigs and making a few enemies, including the police, the brothers face daunting odds to deliver the money on time."
