Why Jeremy Allen White’s Bruce Springsteen Biopic Is Focusing On Nebraska Instead Of His Bigger Albums, Like Born In the U.S.A.

Jeremy Allen White in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.

Spoilers for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere lie ahead.

Bruce Springsteen’s story – well, at least part of it – is chronicled in the biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. Written and directed by Scott Cooper, the film sees Jeremy Allen White take on the role of “The Boss,” and it centers on a very specific time in the beloved singer and musician’s life and career. Notably, Cooper’s flick mostly highlights the making of Springsteen's 1892 album, Nebraska. As for why that record – and not Born in the U.S.A. or another big album – is featured, Cooper explained the reasoning behind that.
