Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (12A)

Starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau and Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father, Douglas.

A biopic about Bruce Springsteen's pivotal 1981-82 period, focusing on his creative struggle  amidst intense fame after his 1980 album The River, it chronicles Springsteen's personal and professional struggles during the conception of his 1982 album Nebraska, exploring his complex relationship with his alcoholic father, his protective love for his mother, and a new romance with single mother Faye Romano, all while battling inner demons and finding inspiration in dark themes to create his masterpiece.

Based on the Warren Zane book of the same name, as well as some elements from Springsteen's autobiography Born to Run, Deliver Me From Nowhere doesn’t expand to tell the rock star’s entire life story, but instead focuses on the intense period from 1981 to 1982 when Springsteen is on the edge of solo super-stardom and realizing his discomfort with fame after the E-Street years.

Now 76 and still touring and recording, Springsteen has sold an estimated 150 million albums worldwide, won 20 Grammy Awards, and even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Barack Obama, who called him the “Rock n Roll Laureate” of our time.
