The actor stars as Digger Rockwell. While the exact plot is still under wraps, Warner Bros provided a logline describing Cruise’s character as “the most powerful man in the world” who “embarks on a frantic mission to prove that he is humanity’s saviour before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.”

Digger is Cruise’s first film since signing a deal to develop and produce theatrical films with Warner Bros Discovery in January. His last project with the studio was Edge of Tomorrow (2014) over a decade ago.
Digger, which was shot in the UK for six months, marks Inarritu’s first English-language film since The Revenant (2015). The film will be produced and directed by Inarritu, with a script he co-wrote in 2023 with Nicolas Giacobone and Alexander Dinelaris, along with Sabina Berman. Digger is produced by Cruise and Inarritu.
