From the moment Warner Bros. unveiled the firstlook forDigger, cinephiles speculated thatsomething was going on with the film that wasn’t immediately obvious from its trailer.

Much of the rest of the film follows Digger and a few of his employees — most notably an environmental scientist named Dr. Ganesh (Riz Ahmed) as they race to contain the literal and metaphorical fallout of this disaster. A massive chunk of the glacier nicknamed “Judy” is dislodged in the explosion, and it heads out to the open ocean; if it reaches mainland Europe, Ganesh warns that it could cause thousands upon thousands of deaths and cause trillions of dollars in property damage. At the same time, Digger seeks toinsulate himself from criticism. If he can’t control nature, he explains he can at least “control the narrative” aroundthe ultimate responsibility for this accident.

Ah, but that’s just part of the film. About 30 minutes into Digger’s story, the entire reality ofthe story breaks down, asIñárritu reveals that everything we have seen inDiggerto that point is actually a very elaborate stage play, one in which the role of Digger Rockwell is played by an actor named Curtis Markson — also portrayed by Tom Cruise.

As soon as Diggerbreaks thefourth wall — in the form of a model tree toppling over in the background of a scene between Digger and U.S. President Compson (John Goodman) — Cruise drops Digger’s Southern fried accent, and returns to his natural speaking voice. We never see him without his Digger hair and prosthetic makeup, but we follow him backstage where he engages in FaceTime-style phone calls (conductedon a high-tech vanity mirror) with his wife. Their converstions gradually reveal that Cruise’s actually an actor named Curtis Markson, who is playing the role of Digger Rockwell in a play called Fossil Fools. The first 30 minutes ofDigger are the play’sfinal dress rehearsalbefore its first performance in front of an audience.

Every time Iñárritu goes backstage ofFossil Fools,Markson stresses out about his missing daughter. He speaks to her over the phone early in the film while she���s about to take a flight, but then at some point while he’s rehearsing, she disappears. Markson and his wife exchange frantic callswhile they try to locate her, while referring to a terriblehurricane that’s affecting flights all over the world. (Someone refers to it as a “Category 6 storm,” a designation that does not currently exists, one of the early clues thatDigger actually takes place in the future.) InDigger’s final scenes,after Curtis and the cast finish their first performance ofFossil Fuels, hiswife appears in person and reveals that their daughter has been found and is safe, thanks in part to Jesse Plemons’ character Kenny.

Thematically,the search for Curtis’ daughter may be related to what Digger says during his big monologue before that European tribunal investigating Judy. During that speech, Digger bothadmits his company’s fault in the tragedy whilepointing the blame back on society for demanding cheap oil in order to fuel theireasy lives. He explicitly mentionsthat people are too concerned with their day-to-day survival and comfort toworry themselves with future issues like energy sustainability and environmental devastation. The storyline involving Curtis Markson’s daughter is an echo of that; even as he prepares for this big performance,hismost immediate concern involves his daughter.

The other potential reading of the daughter character is metatextual. Tom Cruise doesn’t discuss his private life very much in interviews, but he has several children, including his daughter Suri with his ex-wife Katie Holmes. Suri is now 20 years old — close to the age of Curtis Markson’s daughter inDigger.The more the film invites us to peak behind the curtain of Fossil Foolsand see this actor’sbackstage life,the more the audience might be inclined to tryand placeCruise’s own biographyatop Curtis’ life story. Certainly it’s interesting to speculate about the parallels between the two. (And the differences;Curtis is married, Cruise is not.)

Writer/director James Gunn really stuck the landing on his Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, with a film that provides the ideal mix of blockbuster elements: Big action, kooky alien imagery, and genuinely compelling characters the audience becomes enormously invested in. (By the end of Vol. 3, Bradley Cooper’s Rocket had gone from Marvel D-lister to one of the company’s most interesting and tragic heroes.) Amidst a string of middling Marvel movies, Gunn made crafting an MCU film look easy, imbuing an outlandish sci-fi story with that rarest of qualities in movies about sentient alien raccoons: Humanity.)
