Celebrate 45 years of The Blues Brothers at Fed Square.
John Landis | USA | 1980 | M
Join us at Fed Square for a special 45-year anniversary screening of The Blues Brothers — the cult classic that defined cool and tore through Chicago with a soundtrack that still shakes the streets.
Jake Blues is fresh out of prison. Elwood’s waiting in a battered police cruiser. Together, they’ve got just days to reunite their legendary Rhythm & Blues band and save the Catholic orphanage that raised them — all while dodging cops and country singers in one of the wildest musical comedies ever made.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering the magic for the first time, this is your chance to relive the chaos, the car chases, and the unforgettable soundtrack that turned a cult classic into a cultural icon.
It’s 106 miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark… and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it.
The Blues Brothers is part of MIJF’s Jazz on Film series, taking place at ACMI, Fed Square and Palace Penny Lane Cinema.
