The 2026 film 'Digger', directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Tom Cruise, has received harsh reviews from critics, who describe it as a pretentious and self-indulgent climate-change satire.

Set in a postapocalyptic future, the movie is seen as an ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to blend entertainment with environmental commentary.
