Titled Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, the movie stars Jeremy Allen White as the Grammy-winning musician and focuses on a pivotal period in Springsteen's life as he grapples with personal struggles while creating his album Nebraska. Directed by Scott Cooper and based on Warren Zanes' book, the film explores Springsteen's complex relationship with his father, portrayed by Stephen Graham.
