Celebrate the 45th anniversary of the rockin’ comedy about two Chicago brothers on a mission from God to put together their old band and save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised from being foreclosed. "Joliet" Jake (John Belushi) and Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) take on a homicidal mystery woman (Carrie Fisher), the Illinois Nazis, an angry country and western band, and nearly every cop in the state all in an effort to help save the orphanage.
