Overview

• At Alice Tully Hall, Bruce Springsteen took the stage after Deliver Me From Nowhere and performed an acoustic “Land of Hope and Dreams” to a standing ovation.
• He framed the moment with remarks about “particularly dangerous times,” urging faith in an America defined by hope rather than fear, divisiveness, censorship or hatred.
• Springsteen thanked the team, joking that Jeremy Allen White played a “much better-looking” version of him, praised Jeremy Strong, and honored his late parents portrayed in the film.
• Directed by Scott Cooper and adapted from Warren Zanes’s book, the film concentrates on the Nebraska era, world premiered at Telluride, and screened as NYFF’s Spotlight Gala.
• 20th Century Studios will release the movie in theaters on October 24, with Nebraska ’82 music tie‑ins planned as early reviews highlight White’s transformative performance.
