DIGGER - The Popcorn Junkies Movie Review (SPOILERS)

Digger is a 2026 American satirical black comedy film directed, co-written, and co-produced by Alejandro González Iñárritu. Tom Cruise, who also produced the film, stars as Digger Rockwell, an aging oil magnate whose drilling sets off an ecological disaster. The supporting cast includes Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons.

Iñárritu conceived the idea for Digger after working on The Revenant (2015). He wrote the screenplay with Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris Jr., and Nicolás Giacobone, from a story by Iñárritu, Berman, and Jez Butterworth. Filming took place from November 2024 to May 2025 in the United Kingdom.

Digger premiered in London on September 22, 2026, and was released theatrically in Mexico by Warner Bros. Pictures on October 1, 2026, and in the United Kingdom and United States the next day. It is the final film release by Warner Bros. before the acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance on October 6, 2026. The film received polarized reviews from critics and has grossed $21.7 million on a production budget of $125–180 million.
