Based on the screenplay The Blues Brothers by John Landis and Dan Aykroyd

Aykroyd has managed, sans John Belushi, to revive the Blues Brothers for another loony road tour that's as funny and jubilant as ever. Aykroyd returns as poker-faced Elwood Blues, with new frontman Mighty Mack (Goodman) and dozens of cameos by great musicians that keep the joint jumping.
