In an effort to rid himself of the troublesome brothers of Delta house, Dean Wormer hatches a plan to have them kicked off campus.  But the determination of the Deltas is more than anyone counted on.  In their last stand, the antiheroes of Delta drink, smoke, romp, frolic and dance--going out with a bang. This comedy classic features the first major film role of the late, great John Belushi as John "Bluto" Blutarsky, the hard-partying, beer-guzzling champion of Delta house
