Tom Cruise is an eco-criminal in full-length Digger trailer

The latest feature from Alejandro G. Iñárritu opens on October 2.

Tom Cruise is an eco-criminal in full-length Digger trailer

Tom Cruise stars in an upcoming film, Digger, which showcases the titular character as the culprit behind a significant environmental catastrophe. This revelation puts the audience in a complex position, as they are expected to feel disdain towards Digger while also empathizing with his potential to rectify the situation. The film's director, Alejandro G. Iñárritu, aims to create a narrative that highlights the influence of wealth, fame, and connections on addressing global issues, thereby eliciting a mixed emotional response from the viewers.

In a town hall address, former New York Mayor Eric Adams emphasized the critical nature of the situation, stating, "I am the pilot, folks, and you are all passengers. Stop praying for me to crash the plane. Pray for me to land the plane because there's no parachutes on this plane. We're all going down together." However, it is essential to remember that Digger is a work of fiction, and the real-world fate of our planet rests in the hands of world leaders, not a prosthetic-laden Tom Cruise.

Digger boasts a star-studded cast, including Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons, with a release date set for October 2.
