Belushi and Aykroyd play Jake and Elwood Blues—two musicians who, despite their troublemaking ways, go on a mission to save the orphanage they grew up in. Traveling across Chicago to get the band back together (and encountering a who’s who of R&B royalty), the Brothers finally make it to their benefit concert with an angry mob of rednecks, cops, and Illinois neo-Nazis hot on their trail.
