Tom Cruise Stars in Digger Trailer as Aging CEO

Today's first full trailer for Digger shows Top Gun star Tom Cruise in his least recognizable role yet — as an aging CEO who realizes he must save the planet from a natural disaster he created.

Tom Cruise takes on a unique role as Digger Rockwell, an aging CEO tasked with preventing a global catastrophe caused by his own actions. The trailer reveals Cruise in heavy prosthetic makeup, portraying a wealthy billionaire indifferent to the melting polar icecaps until he understands the severe consequences. The film, directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, also stars John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, Jesse Plemons, and Michael Stuhlbarg.

Digger's storyline involves Rockwell teaming up with an aging president to avert the impending disaster, which includes a mission to the North Pole. Despite the unconventional plot, the movie retains some classic Tom Cruise action elements. With its tagline 'Digg. Or Die,' the film promises an intriguing cinematic experience. Digger is set to hit theaters on October 2, 2026, offering audiences a unique blend of drama, action, and environmental themes.
