Full Plot Summary of Interstellar
In Earth's future, a global crop blight and second Dust Bowl are slowly rendering the planet uninhabitable. Professor Brand, a brilliant NASA physicist, is working on plans to save mankind by transporting Earth's population to a new home via a wormhole.
Former NASA pilot Cooper is recruited to lead a desperate mission through the wormhole to survey potentially habitable planets. Leaving behind his two children, Cooper joins a team of researchers traveling across the galaxy to find a new home for humanity.
As the team explores alien worlds, they face unimaginable challenges where time itself becomes their enemy—hours on certain planets equal years back on Earth. Cooper must decide between seeing his children again and the future of the human race. Interstellar explores the power of love across space and time, the nature of sacrifice, and humanity's drive to survive.
