Musician brothers Jake and Elwood Blues learn that the church orphanage they grew up in will be torn down if the $5,000 fee is not paid on time. The brothers don't have much time to find the money, so they decide to give a concert.
However, Jake has just gotten out of prison, and Elwood has his own troubles with the law, and to get to them dreams of everyone who can't help it - the police, gangsters, neo-Nazis. Before saving the church, the Blues Brothers will create a real mayhem on the streets of Chicago.
