Our take
Digger is an upcoming black comedy from Alejandro González Iñárritu starring Tom Cruise as billionaire oil executive Digger Rockwell, racing to control the narrative after an ecological disaster that could trigger nuclear war. The film is not yet U.S. rated. Expect strong language, satirical political themes, and mature psychological intensity. Best for older teens and adults.
Story (may spoil tone)
The most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything.

Talk after watching
- Digger wants to be seen as humanity's savior. How do powerful people shape public stories?
- The director calls comedy rooted in tragedy. When does satire help us think about real crises?
- Tom Cruise plays against type as an aging tycoon. Why do actors take roles that hide their usual image?
