Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere plot
The movie is based on the Warren Zanes book, Deliver Me from Nowhere, which has been adapted for the big screen by Scott Cooper. Here is the official synopsis:
“Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 Nebraska album when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. Recorded on a four-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works — a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.”
