More About This Film

Digger is an ambitious dark comedy and climate satire centered on Digger Rockwell, a wealthy oil tycoon whose actions set off an environmental crisis on a global scale. Rather than presenting him as a straightforward hero or villain, the film uses an exaggerated character to explore power, responsibility, wealth, and the human response to catastrophe.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu combines absurdist humor with grand visual filmmaking, turning environmental anxiety into a stylized cinematic spectacle. Tom Cruise leads an unusually eccentric ensemble that includes politicians, scientists, and other figures caught in the unfolding crisis.

  • Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu.
  • Tom Cruise stars alongside Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons.
  • The film was shot entirely in VistaVision.
  • Emmanuel Lubezki served as director of photography and Dennis Gassner as production designer.
  • Warner Bros. Pictures is releasing the film in theaters and IMAX internationally from September 30, 2026.
