The Blues Brothers

August 28, 29 & 31, 2025
The Blues Brothers
Introduced by Olympia Film Society’s Audrey Henley on 8/28 at 7pm
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.
Dir. John Landis / 1980 / US / 133 min
