Oil drilling in Greenland breaks off a massive ice sheet that heads toward Europe. The person responsible is Digger Rockwell, an oil tycoon and the most powerful man in the world. While politicians and corporations pass the blame, he decides to present himself as the savior of humanity. This isn't just a satire on greed. Iñárritu depicts a system where no one is a grand villain, and everyone does what seems reasonable to them, while the world sinks.
