Co-presented by The Second City Film School
Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi star as Elwood and Jake Blues in this Chicago favorite, filled with music, comedy and chaos. Jake Blues, just out from prison, puts together his old band to save the Catholic home where he and his brother Elwood were raised. However, after playing several gigs and making a few enemies, including Nazis, country singers, and the Chicago Police Department, the brothers face daunting odds to deliver the money on time.

Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
