Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is a 2025 American biographical musical drama film starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen. Written and directed by Scott Cooper, and based on the 2023 book Deliver Me from Nowhere by Warren Zanes, as well as some elements from Springsteen's autobiography Born to Run, it chronicles Springsteen's personal and professional struggles during the conception of his 1982 album Nebraska. The film also stars Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, Stephen Graham, and Odessa Young.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere had its world premiere at the 52nd Telluride Film Festival on August 29, 2025, and was theatrically released in United States by 20th Century Studios on October 24, 2025. The film received mixed reviews from critics, though White's performance has received praise.

In 1981, Bruce Springsteen reaches the end of his latest sold-out concert tour. Jon Landau, his manager and producer, rents a house for Bruce to lay low from his growing fame, near Freehold, New Jersey where he grew up.

Bruce's friend and mechanic Matt drives him to the house in Colts Neck, and Bruce buys his first new car. Playing with local bands at the Stone Pony, he meets Faye Romano, an old classmate's younger sister. On the heels of his first top-ten song, his record label expects another hit album, and Bruce suggests trimming studio costs by preparing a demo himself.

Bruce has a troubled relationship with his father Douglas, an alcoholic battling mental health issues, which drove a young Bruce to defend his mother Adele with a baseball bat. Reading the works of Flannery O'Connor, Bruce catches the film Badlands on TV and is drawn to research the crime spree of Charles Starkweather. Inspired, he writes a song in the killer's own voice, and takes Faye on a date to Asbury Park.

At the house, Bruce enlists his guitar technician Mike Batlan to turn the bedroom into a makeshift studio, with a four-track recorder to arrange the demo themselves. Growing close to Faye and her young daughter Haley, Bruce writes a collection of stark, somber songs with a blue-collar perspective, influenced by his childhood memories, especially of his father. Jon informs Bruce of other opportunities piling up, including a possible movie role, but Bruce is committed to his new music. Recording his new tracks unaccompanied, he makes the risky choice to embrace an imperfect, unvarnished sound quality.

Mike brings Jon the only copy of the completed demo, a single cassette tape, and Jon confides in his wife about the unexpectedly darker, deeply personal songs. Living in California, Adele calls Bruce for help with an increasingly erratic Douglas. After visiting his father, Bruce arrives in New York City to record the new album, reuniting with the E Street Band. They lay down several successful tracks, including "Born in the U.S.A.", but Bruce is unhappy with the overall full-band studio sound of the record.

After two weeks of recording, Bruce has not recaptured his acoustic vision for the album. Abandoning Faye, he insists on shelving the potential hits until he is satisfied. Jon agrees to use Bruce's raw demo, unchanged, as the new record, suspecting Bruce fears losing himself in the face of success. Using older equipment to recreate the demo tape as a vinyl master recording, Bruce's original sound is successfully preserved for the new album, Nebraska.
