Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere Hits Theaters

• The anticipated musical biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, arrives exclusively in theaters this week on Friday, October 24th.
• The film chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 Nebraska album. 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.
• For a preview of Deliver Me From Nowhere, check out Benji’s thoughts on the film – which is a chance to see the creation of one of the most unlikely albums in pop history.
