Tom Cruise is taking one of the biggest creative swings of his career in Digger, the latest film from Academy Award-winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu (Birdman, The Revenant). Blending biting satire with dark comedy, the film casts Cruise as Digger Rockwell, a larger-than-life oil tycoon whose reckless ambition unleashes a global catastrophe. Facing the fallout of his own making, Rockwell launches a frantic campaign to convince the world that he is the only person capable of saving it.

Nearly unrecognizable beneath extensive prosthetics, Cruise adopts a completely new persona for the role, complete with a dramatic physical transformation and over-the-top swagger that is unlike anything audiences have seen from him in years.

Joining him is an acclaimed ensemble that includes John Goodman as the President of the United States, alongside Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Jesse Plemons, Michael Stuhlbarg, Sophie Wilde, and Emma D’Arcy.

Shot in VistaVision and arriving in theaters on October 2, 2026, Digger promises a wildly ambitious blend of spectacle, satire, and social commentary from one of modern cinema’s most celebrated filmmakers.
