Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is an upcoming American biographical musical drama film about American rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist Bruce Springsteen, with focus on the conception of his album Nebraska . The film is written and directed by Scott Cooper, based on Warren Zanes' 2023 biography Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska, and stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen. It also features Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, Odessa Young, Stephen Graham, Gaby Hoffmann, and David Krumholtz in supporting roles. It will be released by 20th Century Studios on October 24, 2025.
From 20th Century Studios, "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen's 1982 "Nebraska" album when he was a young musician on the cup of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen's New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.
The project was first announced in March 2024, with Bruce Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau said to be actively involved with it. Producers are Scott Stuber, his first project since leaving as Chief of Film at Netflix, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Scott Cooper, Warren Zanes, and Eric Robinson, with Cooper writing and directing the adaptation of Zanes' non-fiction book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska.
