In short ‘The Blues Brothers’ is a comedy fictional rockumentary action musical. After the release from prison of "Joliet" Jake Blues, Jake and his brother Elwood must raise money to save the orphanage where they were nurtured as children. Their inspired solution is to bring their old band back together and to raise the money by organizing the largest gig they can imagine.
The movie follows their journey of redemption, their adventures in tracking down their old band members, and their attempts to convince them to rejoin the band. On the way they do happen to take many liberties and put many noses out of joint, so they must also avoid arrest and their detractors. Combining spectacular musical performances of classic blues tracks, archetypical cameos, outrageous chase scenes and nail biting suspense. Will they triumph against the odds? will they get paid? and will they save the orphanage?
There is a trailer for the movie here.
Please note that there will not be any trailers prior to the screening.
