Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025)

Bruce Springsteen, a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggles to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past.

Springsteen's Pick: Bruce Springsteen himself handpicked Jeremy Allen White for the lead role after watching "The Bear," citing a physical resemblance and the way the camera captured White's internal life. Springsteen said he didn't have a number two choice for the role.
Not-So-Secret Inspiration: The movie highlights how Terrence Malick's film Badlands and Charles Laughton's The Night of the Hunter inspired Springsteen during the Nebraska album's creation. Badlands influenced the album's lyricism, while The Night of the Hunter mirrored Springsteen's difficult relationship with his father.
Real Guitar: To help Jeremy Allen White prepare for the role, Bruce Springsteen sent him the Gibson J200 guitar he used to record the Nebraska album. White used this guitar to learn how to play for the film.
Fictional Muse: The character Faye Romano, played by Odessa Young, is a composite character and Springsteen's love interest in the film, but she is not based on one real person from Springsteen's life. She represents several of Springsteen's relationships in the early 1980s and serves as an emotional mirror for the singer.
Album Cover Homage: There's a subtle Easter egg where Jeremy Allen White, as Springsteen, stands in a doorway reminiscent of the photo on the back cover of the Nebraska LP. This shot is brief, making it easy to miss, but it's a deliberate nod to an iconic image.
