The wait is finally over! After weeks of hype and build up, the first full trailer for Tom Cruise\u2019s latest film, \u201cDigger,\u201d <\/a>is here.<\/p>\n

Cruise dons thinning white hair, a beer belly, and a Southern drawl to play the titular billionaire, who is described as \u201cthe most powerful man in the world.\u201d Except chaos breaks out when his company is involved in an ecological disaster that could spark a nuclear war and end the world.<\/p>\n

The description sounds serious, but the tone of the trailer is firmly satirical, thanks to Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything changes,\u201d Cruise\u2019s Digger says at the beginning of the trailer. \u201cOne day you\u2019re a cat, or a king. Next day, you\u2019re just ashes in a box.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cruise is then seen doting on a crusty old white cat that is on its last legs.<\/p>\n

At first dismissive after learning one of his products has caused a glacier to drastically shift, things kick into gear after Digger is asked by the U.S. President, played by John Goodman, to fix the mess.<\/p>\n

Riz Ahmed, Sandra H\u00fcller, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde and Emma D\u2019Arcy also star in the film.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never had something that could challenge me in this way, and neither has Alejandro,\u201d Cruise told Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cMission: Impossible\u201d star had long wanted to work with I\u00f1\u00e1rritu, so when the director pitched him the idea seven years ago, he was immediately on board.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing better than to physically and metaphorically stand on the edge of a cliff and go, \u2018Let\u2019s do this. And I trust you, and whatever we\u2019re going to do, I know this is going to be a hell of an experience,’\u201d Cruise said.<\/p>\n

\u201cDigger\u201d is in theaters October 2.<\/p>\n
