The Film
Digger is a political satire from Warner Bros. Pictures, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, rated R for pervasive language, running 2 hours 9 minutes. Tom Cruise plays Digger Rockwell; the synopsis describes the most powerful man in the world on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he has unleashed destroys everything, and reporting on the film identifies Rockwell as a Texas oilman whose drilling operation sets a Greenland ice shelf drifting toward Europe. Riz Ahmed, John Goodman and Sandra Hüller co-star.
