Blues Brothers 2000 (1998) Synopsis

It's been nearly two long decades since the noble Mission from God in The Blues Brothers (1980), and now a fresh-out-of-jail Elwood is like a fish out of water, all alone and broke. As Elwood gets stuck with Buster, a troubled ten-year-old orphan, the team joins forces with strip-joint bartender Mack McTeer and embarks on a double mission: reunite and knock the original R&B band into shape in time for the ultimate Battle of the Bands competition in Louisiana. But the band's enemies--including the fearsome Russian Mafia, the police, and a right-wing militia group--are everywhere. However, they say God works in mysterious ways. Do the newly resurrected Blues Brothers have what it takes to beat legendary B.B. King's Louisiana Gator Boys at their own game?—Nick Riganas
