The curtain has officially been lifted on Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, the much-anticipated biopic chronicling a transformative chapter in Bruce Springsteen’s career.
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Scott Cooper and based on Warren Zanes’ acclaimed book, the film casts The Bear breakout star Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen. Sharing the screen is Succession’s Jeremy Strong, stepping into the role of longtime manager Jon Landau, while veteran actor Stephen Graham brings emotional weight as Springsteen’s late father, Douglas “Dutch” Springsteen.
Set during the making of Springsteen’s stark 1982 album Nebraska, the film delves into the artist’s internal struggle as he veered away from the grand, anthemic sound that defined his earlier work. This deeply personal project captures a moment where The Boss wrestled with fame, identity, and his roots—all while crafting what many consider his most hauntingly honest record.
The trailer, running two and a half minutes, offers glimpses of raw intensity and soul-searching performances. It closes with a jolt of energy: Jeremy Allen White channeling Springsteen in a rousing rendition of Born to Run, a nod to the artist’s enduring legacy.
According to 20th Century Studios, Deliver Me From Nowhere tells the story of a young Springsteen at a crossroads. Alone in his New Jersey bedroom with just a 4-track recorder, he poured his soul into what became Nebraska—a stripped-down masterpiece filled with shadowy characters and quiet desperation, capturing a man grappling with the ghosts of his past and the weight of a rising legend.
