1980 | 35mm | US | D: John Landis
Blues brothers Jake ‘Joliet’ (John Belushi) – fresh out of prison – and brother Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) get the band back together to raise $5,000 to save the orphanage they were raised in. Their redemptive ‘mission from God’ is hounded by law enforcement, a mysterious assassin, a group of neo-Nazis and some very disgruntled Good Ole Boys.
With a line-up of legendary musicians and vehicular destruction on a grand scale in some of cinema’s most insane car chases, The Blues Brothers is a beloved and quotable cult classic. Just don’t watch the sequel.
‘An exceptional comedy… Car wrecks and blues-related music galore in the best movie ever made in Chicago’ – Chicago Tribune, 1980
Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
