Digger Soundtrack (2026): Every Song

Directed by four-time Academy Award winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu, the 2026 satirical black comedy Digger stars Tom Cruise in a transformative performance as Digger Rockwell, an eccentric, paunchy Texas oil billionaire in heavy prosthetics. When a catastrophic Arctic oil rig disaster threatens global ecological collapse and sets a massive ice shelf adrift toward Europe, Rockwell embarks on an absurdly defiant crusade to prove he is humanity's savior rather than the architect of global ruin. Supported by an all-star ensemble including Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed as the embattled presidential scientist Ganesh, and John Goodman as a cynical U.S. President, the film blends biting corporate satire with high-stakes eco-thriller tension, underpinned by a distinctive and idiosyncratic sonic landscape.

The Digger soundtrack seamlessly combines vintage jazz and folk classics with an extensive original orchestral and nature-infused score composed by British multi-instrumentalist Cosmo Sheldrake. Classic vocal-group legends The Ink Spots provide an unsettling, ironic contrast to the corporate chaos, featuring their timeless 1939 ballad 'If I Didn't Care' as Rockwell's presentation on global crisis is rehearsed, and 'I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire' during reflections on his punishing five-year exile on an Alaskan oil rig. During the film's climax and closing credits, Melanie's spirited 1970 folk-pop anthem 'Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma' plays, driving home the movie's subversive themes of commodification, defiance, and planetary exploitation.
