The Blues Brothers is a musical-comedy that revoles around two brothers—one of whom is a criminal—who embark on a mission to save their childhood school from shutting down. Brothers, Jake and Elwood Blues, played by John Belushi and John Aykroyd, reunite with their band and meet noted music artists to raise money while evading the police and other enemies.
Inspired by the 1922 novel ‘Siddhartha` by Hermann Hesse, this Western musical film is about Zachariah, who accidentally kills a man, after he orders a gun, and gets a little too adventurous. The film revolves around him and his friend Matthew, who journey through the American West.
