Story summary

Tom Cruise stars in Digger, a dark comedy directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, known for his Oscar-winning films like Birdman and The Revenant. The film, which opened in U.S. theaters this weekend, received mixed-to-bad reviews with a 50% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Written by Iñárritu along with Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris Jr., and Nicolás Giacobone, Digger follows the story of an egotistical oil tycoon named Digger Rockwell, played by Cruise. Also featuring actors like Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, and Sandra Hüller, the movie is a Warner Bros. release and will likely stream on HBO Max due to its ownership by Warner Bros., rather than Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
