This film tells the story behind the iconic album Nebraska (1982) by Bruce Springsteen. We follow a young Springsteen at the turning point of world fame, while he struggles with the pressure of success and the shadows from his past. The album, recorded on a simple 4-track recorder in his bedroom in New Jersey, grew into one of his most poignant works: a raw, sober record full of lost souls in search of a foothold. Met Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen and Jeremy Strong as manager Jon Landau, director Scott Cooper brings an intense and intimate portrait of an artist in the making.
