Digger (2026) Review
Audience Score: ★ 7.5/10
In theaters today, Digger (2026) is the year's most unexpected swing: Alejandro G. Iñárritu directing Tom Cruise — reportedly under heavy prosthetics — as an oil baron racing to prove he is humanity's savior after a rig explosion unleashes disaster. Early audience numbers on TMDB sit at ★ 7.5/10 (26 votes), a strong start for opening day.
The setup
The official synopsis: the most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything. Cruise is joined by Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller and Michael Stuhlbarg, and Iñárritu shot the whole thing in VistaVision.
The takeaway
A 129-minute comedy from the Birdman director, released in theaters and IMAX today — whatever the final verdict, it is the weekend's must-debate movie. Capsule compiled from TMDB metadata and early audience scores.
