Tom Cruise is back on the big screen with yet another exciting role. This time, the actor takes on one of his most unpredictable and unrecognisable characters in Digger, set to release later this year. A comedy of catastrophic proportions, Digger is an original film from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu.
From Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, the film stars Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an oil baron whose company may have triggered an ecological catastrophe with the potential to spark a nuclear war. As the consequences of his actions threaten to spiral beyond control, Digger, the most powerful man, embarks on a frantic mission to prove to the world that he alone can save humanity before the disaster he unleashes destroys everything.

Cruise stars in the title role alongside Oscar winner Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Oscar nominee Sandra Huller, Michael Stuhlbarg and Oscar nominee Jesse Plemons. Robert John Burke, Emma D’Arcy, Burn Gorman and Sophie Wilde also star.
