New Bruce Springsteen Biopic Delves Into His Album ‘Nebraska’

LOS ANGELES, CA – The highly anticipated biopic titled “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” directed by Scott Cooper, shines a light on Bruce Springsteen‘s artistic journey during the creation of his 1982 album, “Nebraska.” The film, scheduled for release on October 24, 2025, features Jeremy Allen White, known for his role in “The Bear,” as the iconic musician.

The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on August 29, 2025, where it received a positive early reception, holding a 75% approval rating based on 28 reviews. Cooper’s screenplay adapts Warren Zanes‘ 2023 book of the same name, focusing on the themes of personal struggle and artistic integrity.

In the film, Springsteen is portrayed during a crucial time in his life, when he grapples with the pressures of newfound fame just before reaching global stardom. viewers witness his process of recording “Nebraska” in his New Jersey bedroom, where he explores themes of isolation and despair, pulling from his difficult upbringing.

Cooper introduced the film with a pre-screening defense, noting that it is not a comprehensive biography of Springsteen but rather a glimpse into a specific period. This approach leads to a narrative that revolves around Springsteen’s internal conflicts rather than a typical rock star biography filled with sensational moments.

Throughout the movie, White’s performance is complemented by moments that reflect Springsteen’s struggles with his father, played by Stephen Graham, and his relationship with a fictional love interest, Faye, portrayed by Odessa Young. Critics have noted that White’s vocal impressions capture the essence of Springsteen’s music, particularly in poignant scenes during recording sessions.

The film’s trailer depicts intense moments from Springsteen’s life, including his anxiety over the commercial aspects of his music and the haunting memories tied to his past. Springsteen describes his album as a way to convey something real amidst the noise of fame.

Springsteen himself has expressed his approval of White’s portrayal, stating that he thinks fans will see familiar traits of himself in the performance. While the film tackles serious themes, there are moments that reflect a realistic view of Springsteen’s art away from the glitter of his rock star image.

As “Deliver Me From Nowhere” approaches its theatrical release, it aims to offer a deep look into the complexity of one of America’s most respected songwriters during a defining moment of his career.
