In 1982, Bruce Springsteen recorded the album Nebraska on a four-track recorder in his New Jersey bedroom. For a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life with a departure from the stadium hits, turning to a raw, haunted acoustic sound. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, focusses on a snapshot in time in the Born in the U.S.A singer’s illustrious career.

Nebraska is an album that emerged from Springsteen’s battle with generational demons and the pressures of success, drawing inspiration from the American novelist Flannery O’Connor, the 1973 film Badlands, and Suicide’s self-titled album. Director Scott Cooper paints a portrait of an artist chasing perfection. Jeremy Allen White stars as the Boss, alongside Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s long-time confidant and manager Jon Landau, Stephen Graham in a standout performance as Springsteen’s father, and Australia’s Odessa Young as love interest, Faye.
