Directed by John Landis and originally released by Universal Pictures in 1980, The Blues Brothers stars John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd as Jake and Elwood Blues, two soul-singing siblings on a self-styled "mission from God" to reunite their old band and save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised. Their efforts trigger an escalating chase across Illinois with police, neo-Nazis and a vengeful country band all in pursuit, punctuated by show-stopping musical numbers from Ray Charles, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Cab Calloway.
