There is an example in docs, http://nginx.org/r/rewrite:

location /download/ {
rewrite ^(/download/.*)/media/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.mp3 break;
rewrite ^(/download/.*)/audio/(.*)\..*$ $1/mp3/$2.ra break;
return 403;
}

The "break" flag is used here to change an URI, but keep
processing in the already matched location. For example, a
request to "/download/foo/media/bar.mp3" will be mapped to the
"/root/download/foo/mp3/bar.mp3" file, where "/root" is the
document root in the "/download/" location.
