Wired is a 1989 American biographical film of comedian and actor John Belushi,[4] directed by Larry Peerce.[5] It was based on the 1984 book of the same name by Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward, and adapted for the screen by Buckaroo Banzai creator Earl Mac Rauch.[6] It stars Michael Chiklis in his film debut as Belushi.[7] Wired was both a critical and a commercial failure. The film has yet to be released on DVD or Blu-ray, and the videocassette originally released by International Video Entertainment is out of print.
