Dir: Alejandro G Iñárritu
Cast: Tom Cruise, John Goodman, Riz Ahmed
Digger Rockwell is a monstrous Big Oil fat cat whose lust for the black stuff is what caused the eco-disaster at hand. By ignoring the advice of his scientists and drilling a delicate Greenland glacier, Rockwell has unleashed a tsunami. The movie is a satirical comedy-drama that skewers everything from eco virtue-signalling to the modern news cycle’s 24/7 chatter. Tom Cruise's character is a grotesque Southern oil tycoon who’s all set to destroy our planet. The film is directed by Alejandro G Iñárritu, who conceived Digger just after The Revenant. The movie also stars John Goodman as a blustering blowhard US President and Riz Ahmed as a government wonk who stands up to Rockwell.
The movie is released on 2 October 2026, and it has an age rating of ‘15’. The film was shot in VistaVision, a high-definition analogue shooting technology that was first introduced in the 1950s. The trailer for the movie is available to watch, and it shows Tom Cruise's bold transformation into the character of Digger Rockwell.
